Florida Contingency Fee Lawyer: How Payment Works
TL;DR: Contingency fees mean you don’t pay upfront. Your lawyer’s fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict. If you don’t win, you don’t pay. A Florida contingency fee lawyer ensures access to justice without financial risk.
One of the biggest concerns for accident victims is cost. Many hesitate to hire a lawyer because they fear they can’t afford one. The truth: most Florida personal injury lawyers, including Marland & Rodriguez, work on contingency fees.
That means you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win.
How Contingency Fees Work
- No upfront fees
- Percentage-based — typically 33–40% depending on stage of case
- Case expenses may be reimbursed from settlement
- Only paid if we win
“The contingency system levels the playing field. Our clients don’t need to worry about hourly fees or retainers.” — Stephanie Marland
