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.

    "Attorney Cook is #1 in my book and if you're searching for an attorney"
    One Saturday afternoon I went shopping at Wal-Mart and as I walk across the parking lot to my car I'm struck by a car. Long story short, I was going to try and represent myself but later decided against it. I did a thorough online research and found the wonderfully awesome K. Douglas Cook. He took over my case and the rest is history. He settled my case for far more than I imagined. Attorney Cook is #1 in my book and if you're searching for an attorney he should be #1 in yours too. K. Douglas Cook is truly THE MAN!

    "Great Job - Highly Recommend"
    My car was back ended and I had whiplash. The whole insurance thing was totally confusing. My doctor recommended the Law Offices of Douglas Cook and I couldn't be more happy. I was hoping to just get most of my medical bills paid but I got those bills paid and received a settlement. I worked with Steven and the whole process was relaxed and straightforward. I also learned about bodily injury claims and medpay which was already on my policy. So, this worked out very nicely and I recommend these guys. Doug is very easy to talk to and very informative. I will use them again if I need help.

    "I can not recommend attorney Steven Herman highly enough!!"
    They supported me through this incredibly difficult time after my accident, and it meant so much to know I mattered as more than just a client.
    - Theresa H.
    "I just want to say that Doug Cook is an excellent lawyer and an all around great guy."
    He's helped me, family, friends, and associates navigate through varying legal circumstances and situations with utmost proficiency and unparalleled professionalism.
    - Elijah Freeman
    "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!!

    "Doug Cook took my case reassuring me that soon I would be able to rest easy, and he was absolutely right!"
    After a recent auto accident, I wanted to be very careful and selective about who I hired to help me with this matter. I have previously had a couple of BIG NAME, high priced attorney's that I could never speak or meet with, which was quite annoying!
    - C. Marshall
    "Fast Results!!"
    He got me more than I expected and at a lower rate than many others offered for the case.
