In most cases we do, where you are owed compensation and we are pursuing it on your behalf. ”Contingency” means that our firm’s attorney fees are paid as a percentage of the employee’s recovery (or otherwise directly by the employer), and the firm fronts the case expenses to the client. If the client isn’t compensated from the case, the client owes the firm nothing – the law firm takes the loss. Whether we can take your case on contingency depends on many circumstances – we’ll talk about it and look at your options.

There are some types of cases that are not appropriate for a “contingency” arrangement, such as defending employees who are being pursued by a former employer on a non-compete contract, employment agreement counseling and severance agreement counseling, and a few others. However, we work hard to arrange a fee agreement that is appropriate and reflects the value of what the firm’s expert assistance will bring to your employment situation.
