An initial discussion with us about your case is free of charge or obligation, and we only charge a fee if we're successful in recovering an award for you. Our attorneys will not ask you to pay a retainer fee up front, because we recognize that most people cannot afford to do so. Our fees are based on a percentage of any recovery we make for you. This is called a contingent fee agreement.
