Civil Lawsuits Are Affordable and Not Just for Rich People!

“You have got to be kidding!”  “I can’t afford a lawyer!” “I have so many bills to pay!” “Civil lawsuits are only for rich people.”

You may have said the same thing, that civil lawsuits are only for rich people because law firms can be expensive.  Guess what?  That is a MYTH that many people believe, thus keeping them from receiving expertise from experienced and knowledgeable lawyers in their case. This blog will explain how lawsuits work and how fees and costs actually work so you will understand that you might have been believing a myth.

Here comes the good news!  A Case for Women, a women-owned organization founded in 2015, actually connects women who have been harmed with passionate lawyers who work on civil lawsuits on a contingency fee basis.

Do I Have to Pay Anything Upfront?

Nothing is due from you upfront.  Your law firm will pay all of the costs and expenses out of the firm’s pocket throughout your case. You won’t pay a dime to get your case started and, in a nutshell, you won’t owe anything if the law firm is unsuccessful.

What Is a Contingency Fee Anyway?

The lawyers and law firms that work with A Case for Women only work on a contingency fee basis. This means that your law firm only receives compensation if it receives a favorable outcome (wins or settles)at the end of your case. The amount the firm receives (the fee) is contingent upon the result the law firm receives for the client. And, to reiterate, if the contingency fee law firm is unsuccessful, you owe nothing.

A law firm working on a contingency fee basis initially takes on all the risk. The law firm will pay for expenses and costs like, for example, court filing fees, depositions, expert witness fees, postage, hotels (if a lawyer has to go out of town for the case), research, and medical records. The law firm pays for these expenses which are necessary for building your case. The firm has spent countless hours preparing your case for trial and will only be paid if your case achieves a positive result. Additionally, the firm will also collect reimbursement for the expenses incurred, such as court filing fees, while handling your case, unless of course prior agreement has been made to the contrary.

Contingency is a sweet deal for clients who might not have the funds to pay upfront, but it also means the law firm has a vested interest in winning the case.

What If The Law Firm Doesn’t Win My Case?

The law firm took your case because they believed it was viable and worked very hard to that end.  However, in the event your law firm does not win your case, you will not owe the firm anything.  A Case for Women joins women with law firms that only work on a contingency basis, thus allowing the client to have access to this type of legal help.  There is no risk of going into debt while seeking justice with no surprise or hidden bills.
