Contingency Fee

Contingency Fee Representation

If you have been injured injured and are worried about the cost of hiring an attorney, you’re not alone. Many people believe they can’t afford legal help, especially when bills are already piling up. That’s why Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys works on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay anything upfront, and there are no hourly bills or retainers. We’re only paid if your case is successful.

If we don’t win, you don’t pay. It’s as simple as that.

This system makes legal representation possible for everyone. It also ensures your attorney is focused on the same goal you are: getting the best result in your case.

How It Works

Getting Started
Every case begins with a free evaluation. If you decide to hire us, you’ll sign a written contingency fee agreement that explains the percentage you’ll pay and how costs are handled. From there, our firm covers the expenses needed to move your claim forward.

While Your Case Is Active
You won’t receive bills from us while your case is in progress. We take care of the expenses that come up, whether it’s gathering records or working with outside specialists. That way, you can concentrate on your recovery while we build your case.

After It Is Resolved
If your case ends with a settlement or verdict, our fee is taken as the agreed percentage of that amount. At the same time, the firm is reimbursed for the expenses it advanced. If the case isn’t successful, you don’t owe us anything, and you won’t be responsible for any court costs or expenses.

What You Can Expect

Hiring a lawyer should never leave you guessing about the costs. When you work with us, you can expect:

• A written agreement that explains how the contingency fee works and how expenses are handled. You’ll see all the details before anything begins, so nothing comes as a surprise.
  
• No upfront payments for legal fees or expenses. Our firm covers these costs while your claim is active.
  
• Payment only if we win. Our fee comes from the recovery, not from you directly.
  
• A clear breakdown at the end of the case that shows how legal fees and expenses are calculated, so you understand exactly what you’ll receive.
  

An Example of How It Works

Here’s a simple example to show how a contingency fee works:

If a case ends with a settlement of $50,000 and the agreed fee is 30%, the attorney’s fee would be $15,000. If $3,000 in case costs were advanced by the firm, those would be reimbursed at the same time. The client would then receive the remaining $32,000.

*This is only an example. Every case is different, and the exact percentage and costs are always explained in writing before your case begins.*

Why This Matters

Hiring a lawyer can feel out of reach when finances are already stretched. A contingency fee takes away that pressure. You don’t pay anything upfront, and you don’t owe fees or expenses while your case is active. If we don’t win, you won’t be responsible for court costs or expenses. Our firm takes on that risk so you can focus on your recovery with confidence that your case is in good hands.
