Contingency Fees | Personal Injury Attorneys

By Dianne Sawaya

The reason is how we are paid for our work. The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya works on a contingency fee basis, spelled out in paperwork you sign at the time you hire us as your attorneys. It’s a written contract saying that we will take as our fees a percentage of any settlement or judgment the opposing party pays you. More simply, it means that we don’t get paid unless we get you a settlement or judgment. If we do, we get paid; if we don’t, we go to bed hungry.

This arrangement has several advantages for you. One, there is no risk that you will have to go through months of turmoil and stress, wind up without a settlement or lose at trial, and then still owe an attorney a hefty fee.

Two, you probably have a pretty good case if we’re willing to be your partner. We work for you because we’re confident we can bring value to your case and help you out – and not just in terms of money, but with the outstanding network of doctors and specialists who can help you get well.

And three, a contingency fee arrangement gives us a lot of motivation to get the most recovery for you that we can. Because our fee is based on how well we do our jobs, you can be sure we’ll put in the time and effort your case deserves.

The bottom line for our clients is this: The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya takes a big gamble on your case, and we could lose our investment in time and resources if we don’t win. Because of that we make careful decisions before accepting a case. When we do, we’re sure you have a pretty good case – and we’re committed 100% to working on your behalf.
