The majority of lawyers available to the public today will more than likely charge their clients a fixed hourly rate when performing legal services. That hourly fee is based on a variety of different factors including the experience of the attorney, the complexity of the case at hand, the nature of the matter and much more. The time that is spent on a case by one of our attorneys will be itemized for the client and the client will then pay that attorney based on how many hours were worked on the case. We at Schecter Law offer a variety of different payment or billing options to our clients depending on the case at hand. Other fee options include a contingent fee or a hybrid fee. A contingent fee can be requested by the client during complex commercial litigation cases. This means that the law firm will receive a percentage of the payment actually recovered and the percentage will vary depending on the facts of the case at hand. A hybrid fee is when the client will pay a portion of the fee based on a contingent fee and the remainder of the fee will be paid via a reduced hourly fee. Any out of pocket expenses, such as filing fees, deposition costs, and expert fees, are the responsibility of the client. The terms of these fees and other fees are outlined in the attorney-client contract that will be signed prior to a lawyer from our firm working on a case. The contract must be signed by the lawyer and the client.
Schecter Law is proud to say that we have received the highest AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell and what makes this rating even more prestigious is that it is voted on by our peers in the industry.
