What Does It Cost To Hire A Lafayette Louisiana Personal Injury Attorney

Most all Personal Injury Attorneys charge a percentage of the recovery, usually one-third. You don't have to pay any money up front. If there's a recovery, the lawyer gets paid out of that. If there is no recovery for the client, most personal injury lawyers won't charge you any fees at all. You don't have to pay any hourly charges or lump sums called "retainers." There's also the issue of costs. "Costs" are out-of-pocket expenses like the amount of money a hospital charges for duplicating your medical records, or the filing fee the courts charge for filing a claim. Most law firms pay those costs. We're reimbursed for those costs when the case is settled. Remember: To hire a good lawyer, it won't cost anything "up front."

There is no charge for the initial consultation or case audit.
