The attorneys at LAW OFFICES
OF MATHYS & SCHNEID represent
their injured clients under a contingency fee contract. We understand the financial
strain that is put on a family when a loved one is injured and that is why we
do not charge a fee unless we recover financial compensation for you. If there
is no recovery, then there is no fee. That means that you are not expected or
required to pay any attorneys fees unless and until we achieve a successful result
for you. When that happens, a predetermined percentage will be paid to us from
the verdict or settlement amount as attorneys’ fees.
The predetermined percentage of attorneys' fees is generally
33 1/3% of the amount recovered. If your case involves medical malpractice or
workers’ compensation
Illinois law establishes the contingency fee percentage. Regardless of whatever
type of injury matter your have, if there is no recovery then there is no legal
fee.
LAW OFFICES
OF MATHYS & SCHNEID will advance all
costs and expenses necessary to prosecute your case in order to maximize your
recovery. As with legal fees, if we obtain a money recovery for you, whether
by settlement or jury verdict, we are reimbursed the court costs that our firm
may advance on your behalf. Such court costs could include the following: filing
fees (filing fees are required by courts before they will accept legal papers);
expert fees (experts and consultants charge for their time in evaluating cases
and testifying in court); fees to obtain medical records; deposition fees (certified
court reporters charge for taking down testimony at depositions and for providing
written transcripts of that testimony), etc. We try to keep these costs down
to a minimum in the pre-suit and early litigation stages, in order to maximize
your recovery.
