Can I Afford a Lawyer? (Spoiler: Yes, You Can)

Legal Fees Demystified: What You Need to Know About Contingency Fees

What’s a Contingency Fee and How Does It Work?

Let’s say you’ve been hurt in some type of accident – maybe the other guy blew through a stop sign and barreled right into you, or say you slipped in the grocery store on a wet spot that wasn’t marked. Or maybe your child broke their arm at day camp when they fell from some faulty play equipment.

You need a lot of help - from holding someone responsible for the injuries to sorting through the maze of paperwork from the insurance company to figuring out how to get medical bills paid.

You know you need to hire an attorney - you just don’t have the money.

But just because you can’t afford to pay $300 per hour (the average hourly rate for an attorney in the U.S.) or hand over thousands of dollars for a retainer, that doesn’t mean legal help is out of reach.

It’s not.

One of the most common concerns that personal injury victims have is cost – how in the world can they afford a lawyer?

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to pay anything upfront to hire us for your personal injury case.



At The Edwards Firm LLP, we handle all our personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means:


✨No hourly billing


✨No upfront legal fees

✨No payment unless we win your case



Then how do we get paid? We take a percentage of the compensation we recover for you.

And if we don’t win? You owe us nothing. Point blank. Period.

Let’s look at a simple example:
If we recover $100,000 for your injuries and our agreed contingency fee is 33%, we receive $33,000. You keep the rest (minus any case expenses we’ve discussed in advance). And we explain everything clearly upfront—no fine print, no surprises.



Contingency = Confidence.


We won’t take your personal injury case unless we believe we can win—and we don’t get paid until we do. This means we have confidence in your case, and you can have confidence in us. 


Real Talk

Never settle with an insurance company without first talking to a highly experienced personal injury lawyer with a track record of winning, like The Edwards Firm LLP.

Why?

🚫 Insurance companies train their representatives to offer you less than what your claim is worth—especially if you don’t have an attorney.

📉 According to the Insurance Research Council, unrepresented claimants receive on average 3.5 times less than those that are represented by a personal injury attorney.

Real Results

“Mr. Edwards is second to none! He explained my options, took my case and got me a settlement that I was excited about! He is a great negotiator, and he knows all the tricks the insurance companies play because he is a former attorney for them. My family is still prospering from the settlement he got us!”
