Attorney Work
40% is the most common contingency fee rate I use and my starting point in fee agreement negotiations (many attorneys charge lower rates for early resolution and higher rates for later resolution—“after trial setting”—as high as 50%; in my experience matters nearly always settle after trial setting; so again, such clients pay more). State Bar rules provide that all attorney contingency fee rates are negotiable. A $1,000.00/client refundable fee retainer is generally charged in my standard contingency fee matters; the fee is refunded at the conclusion of representation if contingent or hourly fees of more than $1,000.00 are recovered.
Work rates do not include costs. State Bar rules provide that client is responsible for all costs of litigation regardless of outcome. Client is required to pay costs at the time incurred to the extent client is able. Typical costs include: 1) Costs for copies, records requests, service of process (postage, messenger); 2) Filing and other court fees, court reporter fees, expert witness fees; and 3) Any other costs reasonably incurred.
