Fee Arrangements

Contingency Fee Option

Chances are you have your hands full dealing with a painful illness. You worry a lot about your financial future, about how you will get by without a steady source of income. To add insult to injury, your insurance company seems to be taking advantage of your weakness and pulling away your chief or only means of support.

Hiring a disability attorney can be a big financial burden. In your position, the last thing you need right now is to worry about the costs of your ERISA case and to start paying hourly legal fees. So we don’t ask you to do so.

When you become a client of the ERISA Law Group, you will never be asked to pay us legal fees until we achieve a successful financial outcome that you have approved. Never. It’s that simple.

Instead, you will pay a contingency fee that is taken from the proceeds paid by your insurance company. We think this arrangement is the most fair.

The contingency fee has a long history in legal practice as the means to give less wealthy clients a way to have their day in court without going broke in the process.

We don’t get paid just for effort. We don’t get paid for thoroughly researched and beautifully written pleadings. We get paid for results. And we think you will like that.

Hourly Fee Option

While most ERISA Law Group disability clients prefer the contingency fee arrangement, some clients prefer an hourly fee contract, and others prefer a hybrid contract that combines these two elements. Your decision should be based on your financial capacity and your willingness to bear the financial risk of an adverse outcome. Details of these financial options can be discussed in your free consultation with one of our disability attorneys.
