• The initial consultation is always free and without any obligation.

• Fees on personal injury or insurance cases usually are contingent upon the outcome of the case, which means the fee is a percentage of the total amount of money recovered for the client.  Fees generally range from 25% to a third of the recovery, depending upon the difficulty of the legal and factual issues involved.  In the event of no recovery, no fee would be owed.

• Fees in lawsuits against drunk drivers usually are only 25% of the recovery.

• Fees on business/commercial cases may be either contingent or hourly.

• In setting fees in all cases, my primary consideration is: 

"Is it fair and reasonable to the client?"
