Fees
- Free Consultation - During the free consultation period which would be for one hour or one and one half hours, I would advise the potential client what he might receive from his case in the future and also give that person my opinion concerning how much his case was or could be worth in permanent compensation benefits. I also would be up front with the potential client and let that person if he/she did not have a valid claim.
- Contingent Fees - My fees are either 12.5 % or 25 % of the workers compensation amount of money that the workers compensation benefits are. This only applies to actual compensation received and not for any medical benefits that an Applicant would receive as a result of his case.
- Rates, Retainers and Additional Information - If the case only applied to medical benefits then I would charge an up front fee of either 2,500 or 3,500.00 to be used against my hourly rate of 300.00 per hour. Furthermore, if my efforts helped get the worker back on compensation then my fee would be 25 % of the benefits.
