Should Attorneys Charge The Same Fee Whether They Work On A Case for Two Days or Two years?

A: I don’t think so. This question is one of the reasons I developed and use a sliding scale fee schedule for our clients in personal injury cases.  This Client Progressive Fee Agreement™ means that the earlier your case is resolved, the lower the attorney fee is.  For example, my contingent fee is as low as 25% of the total recovery. I recognize that clients may have different goals and needs when pursuing an injury claim.  If an attorney’s fee is less than the standard 33%, 40% (or even 50%) fee, then you may be able to settle your claim earlier and still end up with as much money in your pocket as if you had waited a year or more to get to trial.
