  Personal injury cases are often taken on a contingent fee basis either because the case is too risky for the client to bear the cost associated with the hourly attorney fees or the client does not have sufficient up front funds to retain the lawyer on an hourly basis. Contingent fee contracts in personal injury matters call for the attorney to receive 1/3 of any recovery. Personal injury lawyers are required to give clients the choice of a contingent fee or an hourly fee. If you speak with an attorney that does not give you this choice, they are acting contrary to the Supreme Court Rules and can be disciplined. Lawyer McCarthy has advised many clients through the years that it would be in their best interests to pay on an hourly basis rather than a contingent fee basis due to the nature of the case. This can often save the client many thousands of dollars. A lawyer’s duty is not to make money. A lawyer’s duty is to treat his client fairly and zealously represent their interests.
