No Win, No Fee — Simple as That
We believe that hiring a lawyer should bring peace of mind, not financial stress. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis — you owe us nothing unless we successfully settle your case or win in court.
What Is a Contingency Fee?
A contingency fee means your lawyer is paid only if you recover compensation through a settlement or court verdict. Instead of billing hourly or requiring a retainer, the attorney’s fee is a percentage of the total recovery. This structure allows injured individuals to pursue justice without taking on financial risk.
How Our Fee Works
Our structure is straightforward and transparent — with no hidden charges and no unexpected costs.
- No upfront payment required.
- Our standard fee is 33⅓ percent of your total recovery.
- If a lawsuit is filed in the Circuit Court of Maryland, the fee may increase to up to 40% to reflect the additional time, preparation and complexity involved.
- If your case is resolved in the District Court of Maryland, the fee remains the same, even if it proceeds to trial.
If there is no recovery in your case, you do not owe us an attorney’s fee. We take on the financial risk so you can pursue your claim without added financial pressure.
No Extra Charges — Ever
We do not charge our clients for any routine administrative expenses such as copying, postage or other basic office costs. Our goal is to keep the process efficient and cost‑effective from start to finish.
You’re Always in Control
At every step, you have full transparency and control. You will receive a written fee agreement, and you can ask questions about fees at any time. Before accepting any settlement, you review and approve all decisions, and you receive a detailed breakdown showing how funds are distributed.
Our agreements always comply with Maryland’s professional conduct rules, ensuring fairness and clarity throughout your case.
Choosing a personal injury lawyer is an important decision, but it’s not an irreversible one. You have the right to change law firms at any time and for any reason. We earn our clients’ confidence through results and service, not contractual commitment.
