Fee Philosophy:
Law One professionals prioritize mindfulness of each clients’ unique financial situation and understand that many clients have limited resources for payment of their attorney’s fees.
Hourly fee clients: Clients that enter into an hourly fee arrangements are, to some extent, in control of their attorney’s fees. The extent of litigation in each case is determined by a number of factors, with one being the client’s goals and desired approach to each issue that arises in their case. Thus, attorney’s fees are somewhat dependent on the extent of litigation that a client wishes to pursue.
Contingency fee: When a client enters into a Contingency fee arrangement (this is not offered for Family Law cases and various other types of cases), there are typically no attorney’s fees recovered by Law One unless damages are attained via settlement, judgment, or verdict. There are a few unique situations in which a fee arrangement will in fact permit Law One to recover attorney’s fees for work performed on a contingency fee-based matter before a settlement, judgment, or verdict is obtained. Law One is committed to providing the time and resources necessary to reach a successful resolution of its contingency fee cases.
