Once you decide to hire a Tampa personal injury attorney at Clark and Martino, P.A., we take almost all cases on a “contingency fee basis.”
Basically, a contingency fee basis means you pay no lawyer’s fees unless you win a settlement your case. If you do win your case, the “contingency fee” would be a percentage of the money you receive from the case. The percentage varies somewhat according to a few different factors, such as how much money you win in your case. In most situations, the contingency fee is roughly one-third of the settlement.
In addition to the contingency fee, each client also agrees to pay for costs related to his or her case. These costs may include:
- Filing fees
- Long distance telephone charges
- Travel expenditures
- Courier fees
- Copying, printing, and postage expenses
- Private investigator and expert witness fees
