Hamilton Contingency Fee Lawyers

Our Hamilton Lawyers do no believe in the traditional “pay by the hour” model when hiring a lawyer. This does not work for the majority of the population.

When you hire our reputable and experienced personal injury lawyer to help protect your future and recover your losses suffered in a car accident, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident or pedestrian accident, these lawyers are performing highly specialized work. Typically, experienced personal injury lawyers will have years or decades of extensive legal training, trial experience and a very specialized knowledge of the law and legal system. Good personal injury lawyers are often in high demand – and the continued payment of hourly fees, over the course of several months or years – is simply unaffordable for the majority of people who are going through the worst times of their lives.

Our firm works on a no-win, no-fee basis – meaning that we only get paid if we recovery compensation for you. If we don’t, we do not charge you anything. This is otherwise known as a contingency fee.

Benefits of a No-Win, No-Fee Contingency Agreement

Contingency fee arrangements significantly lower the barrier to legal access for individuals who might otherwise be unable to afford the costs of litigation. Clients only pay attorney fees if they win their case or secure a settlement, shifting the financial risk to the attorney and aligning both parties’ interests towards a successful outcome.

This model enables people to pursue claims against entities with greater financial resources, ensuring everyone has the chance to seek justice for wrongs suffered without the fear of incurring upfront legal fees. Additionally, since attorneys are compensated based on the case’s success, they are motivated to accept cases with strong merit and work diligently, promoting efficiency and discouraging frivolous lawsuits. This ensures that legal representation is both accessible and focused on achieving the best possible outcome for the client.

Contingency Fee Rates: A breakdown

We believe in being open and transparent with our clients – and potential new clients – from day one. The following applies to our four (5) areas of law that we specialize in:

• Legal Fees for Personal Injury Cases – For any Personal Injury Case, our contingency fees are set between 25% and 30%. We guarantee that the fee will NEVER exceed 30% of the total settlement for you or your loved one. Plus, in the event of a successful outcome, the defendant will contribute towards your legal fees. This effectively means you will end up paying significantly less than the initial 25% to 30% rate.
  
• Legal Fees in Long-Term Disability Cases – our contingency fees are set between 25% and 30%. Rest assured, we will NEVER exceed a 30% charge on the total settlement amount for you or your loved one, under any circumstances. Plus, should you win, the defendant will cover a portion of your legal fees. This effectively reduces the amount you’re responsible for, making your actual payment significantly less than the stated 25% to 30%.
  
• Legal Fees in Wrongful Death Cases – Our contingency fees in Long-Term Disability Cases range from 25% to 30%. We will NEVER charge you or your loved one over 30% of the total settlement, no matter what the circumstance. And remember, if you are successful, the defendant will partially contribute to your legal fees, which means that technically, you are not paying the full 25% to 30%, but significantly less.
  
• Legal Fees for Wrongful Death Cases – Our contingency fees for Wrongful Death Cases are set between 25% and 30%. We firmly commit to never charging you or your loved one more than 30% of the total settlement, regardless of the circumstances. Moreover, should your case be successful, the defendant will cover a portion of your legal fees. Consequently, the actual amount you pay will be significantly lower than the initial 25% to 30% rate.
  
• Employment Law Cases – Our contingency fees range from 20% to 25%. As of 2022, the most that we would ever charge in a employment law wrongful dismissal case case is a 25% contingency fee.
