Contingency Fees Serving Families Throughout Atlanta

Understanding Attorney Fees at The Law Offices of K. Douglas Cook

At The Law Offices of K. Douglas Cook, we believe in transparent and fair attorney fees. We understand that legal costs can be a concern for many clients. That’s why we strive to provide a clear and straightforward fee structure tailored to your needs.

Our Transparent Fee Structure

1. Out-of-Court Settlements
For cases resolved through settlement or negotiation, our attorney fees are capped at 25% of the settlement amount. You only pay a percentage of what we successfully recover, ensuring affordable access to high-quality legal representation.
2. Litigation Cases
If your case proceeds to litigation and requires filing a lawsuit, our fees increase to 35% of the final settlement or court award. Litigation often involves additional time, resources, and complexity, which is why this adjustment is necessary.

Why Choose Our Contingency Fee Structure?

Clients appreciate our contingency fee attorney services because they provide:
  • No Hidden Costs: You only pay if we win your case. There are no upfront fees, and our payment is contingent on securing compensation for you.
  • Affordable Legal Representation: Our 25% fee for out-of-court settlements makes top-tier legal services accessible.
  • Clear Expectations: Whether your case settles or goes to trial, you’ll always know what to expect.
  • Aligned Interests: We are motivated to achieve the best outcome because our fees depend on your success.

What Happens If Your Case Goes to Court?

If your case moves to court, we begin preparing for litigation, including discovery, depositions, and trial appearances. These additional steps require more time and resources, reflected in the 35% contingency fee for litigation cases.
We are committed to keeping you informed throughout the process and will explain every step so that you understand what to expect.

What Are Contingency Fees?

A contingency fee arrangement means you only pay attorney fees if we win your case. This fee structure is common in personal injury and other areas where clients may not have the means to pay upfront legal costs.
If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing.

Hear From Our Happy Clients

Serving Atlanta, GA Since 2000

    "Absolutely Phenomenal!"
    Doug Cook was a godsend to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. My family and I are so grateful for his service and I would recommend Doug without reservation!
    - Carley
    "Doug speaks with you, not a paralegal or assistant. He maximized my settlement which was also expeditious."
    Another great concept Doug prescribes to is the fact he only charges you 25%. I don't think I have seen other attorneys charge anything less than 33% and 40% if it goes to trial.
    - T.X.

    "Excellent Representation."
    Don't pass on Doug Cook when looking for competent, caring professionalism and an all around good guy.
    - Charles S
    "Above and beyond magnificentt"
    Unfortunate circumstances allowed me to use Doug for the second time. His knowledge and professionalism made the transition easy with the insurance carriers. He was always accessible, would keep me informed, and even called to check on occasion to ensure everything was going smoothly. He was humorous and understanding and actually helped me prepare for the road ahead. We had never even discussed settlements, but I was assured all bills and time used in recovery would be compensated. In the end, I had what I thought would be a fair settlement. Doug not only got me that, but so much more. I haven't stopped smiling since!! I strongly recommend Doug & Steve to anyone who needs help and answers. THEY ARE AWESOME!!
    - Wayne
