At Lorraine-Law, we always work on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee arrangement provides a means for clients to pursue legal action without the immediate financial burden of attorney fees, allowing them to focus on their case rather than financial worries. 

Key Features of Contingency Fees:

1. Payment Upon Recovery: The attorney only receives payment if the case is successful and the client receives a settlement or judgment.

2. Percentage Basis: The fee is typically a pre-agreed percentage of the total recovery amount.

3. No Win, No Fee: If the attorney fails to settle the claim or conclude the case through judgement, the client does not owe any legal fees. However, clients may still be responsible for other costs associated with the case, such as court fees and expert witness fees.

4. State Regulations: The legality and specific regulations surrounding contingency fees can vary by state, so it's essential for clients to consult with a local attorney.
