Workers’ Compensation Fees:
- INITIAL CONSULTATIONS to discuss your case are ALWAYS FREE.
- We do not charge a fee unless we win your case.
- You NEVER get a monthly bill and you do not pay any money up front.
- In most cases, fees are set by law at 25% of the first $4,000 and 20% of the next $60,000 of benefits we get for you that the insurance company is not paying voluntarily
- We get paid out of what we win for you at the end of the case and subject to what all parties agree to or the judge rules to be fair.
- Fees in workers’ compensation cases are set by the legislature so no matter how many years of experience of the lawyer has; he/she will charge you the same. With over 30 years of experience, our caring and experienced team is a great value.
