How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney? Understanding Contingency Fees

One of the most common questions we hear from clients is simple: how much do you charge? It’s an understandable concern. People are often already dealing with the financial impact of an injury or trauma, and the idea of taking on additional legal fees on top of that can feel overwhelming.
That’s why it’s worth explaining exactly how our contingency fee structure works.

What Is a Contingency Fee?

At Monsees & Mayer, we work on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee means you pay nothing upfront. Our payment is contingent upon us recovering something for you, whether that’s through a fair and just settlement, mediation, or a verdict at trial.
In other words, as we work on your case, you pay nothing. Our fee is simply a percentage of the settlement or verdict we recover on your behalf.

Why This Matters for You

This structure exists for a straightforward reason: so you don’t have to worry about legal bills while we fight for your rights. You shouldn’t have to choose between getting the legal help you need and covering your own bills during an already difficult time.
Because there’s no upfront cost and no fee unless we win, you’re free to focus on what matters most- your recovery- while we handle everything else related to your case.

More Than Just a Case

When you come to us for help, it’s not just about a case number or a legal file. It’s about your life, your recovery, and your future. We understand the stress and uncertainty you’re facing, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
We don’t see ourselves as simply your attorneys. We see ourselves as your advocates and your partners in seeking justice.
