PLAINTIFF'S CONTINGENT FEE SERVICES AGREEMENT FORM 2.50 I hereby employ _____________________________, and such other attorneys as my attorney first named, may in his judgment associate with him, to exercise their judgment to prepare, present, and prosecute any and all claims of myself, my spouse, and any members of my immediate family concerning personal injury claims arising out of ______________________________________________________________. Contingent fees for labor and services. I agree to pay my attorneys for their services ______% of whatever amount is actually recovered as a result of trial or settlement. If no recovery is made, I will owe my attorneys nothing for their labor and time spent. My attorneys will divide the total fee between them according to their own agreement regarding the work done on my matters. Payment for expense costs. Whether or not a recovery is made, all court costs and money paid out by my attorneys for investigation or litigation expenses are to be paid by me. With the signing of this agreement, I have deposited with my attorneys first named above the sum of $_________ to apply on costs. If the expense costs advanced by my attorneys are more, my attorneys will bill me; and if the expense costs are less, they will return the excess deposit to me. Settlement control. My attorneys shall not settle any claim without my express consent. Right to withdraw. I agree that my attorneys have made no guarantees regarding the outcome of any claims. If after investigation, any or all of my attorneys believe a substantial recovery is not likely for me, they then may withdraw from the case without payment for their services. If an offer of settlement is submitted to me, but I reject the offer against the positive written advice of all of my attorneys, any or all of my attorneys, may then, at their option, withdraw from the case. Upon such withdrawal, my attorneys shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for their services prior to the offer; but such compensation will be paid only out of the amount later actually recovered by me for the same claims. Dated: _____________________________________________(Client) Employment accepted and deposit for expense costs received. Dated: _____________________________________________(Attorney) |
