Average Cost Of An Attorney In Ohio
There is a belief that hiring a lawyer to represent you for an injury case is incredibly expensive. Some injured victims don’t believe that they have the money necessary to hire legal representation, resulting in a failure to receive the full compensation that they deserve.
Our law office operates on a contingency fee. This means that we take a percentage of the overall settlement at the end of the case.
Contingency Fee for Personal Injury Lawyer
A contingency fee is as percentage of the settlement, often noted as 1/3 of the amount of the settlement received. So, if you were in a car accident and sustained injuries and used The Charles E. Boyk Law Office to represent you, and we helped you to receive a $15,000 settlement, we would require $5,000 in payment.
Some people reading this may think that $5,000 is a lot of money to pay a lawyer, but the important thing is to not pay a lawyer by the hour.
The important thing for an injured victim filing a personal injury claim to do is to have an attorney that has no out-of-pocket risk. The attorney will only take a percentage of what they are able to collect, so it is in the attorney’s self-interest to collect as much money for their client as possible. This means they will put in the necessary time and effort to do so.
A contingency fee is the best scenario for both the client and the attorney because it is in the best interest of both to ultimately obtain the largest settlement.
