My Attorney’s Fees Explained

My attorney fees are contingent. This means you only me a fee if I recover money on your behalf and you don’t owe any upfront money to hire me. Also, I do not charge attorney fees off of the damage to your car or your loss of use claim.

For any case that does not involve a lawsuit, I charge 33.33%, of what I, recover as an attorney fee. My attorney fee does increase to 40% when a lawsuit is filed because my firm’s expenses, and the required time to prosecute your injury claim, increases significantly.

Additionally, you don’t owe me any fee whatsoever if I don’t recover money on your behalf. Any good personal injury lawyer is doing this.

More importantly, my attorney’s fee will never be higher your net settlement, i.e. what you put in your pocket. In other words, you will always walk away with more money from your case than I do!

Lastly, I want you to understand that I want to earn you future business and I may lower my attorney’s fee to demonstrate that. For example, I tend to lower my fee pretty regularly when my client is a repeat client or has referred another client to me. After all, I understand you have a choice in who you choose at your injury lawyer, and I want to show you that I appreciate your ongoing support of my law firm.

Just a couple of ways, the Desmond Difference can increase your injury settlement.

The Kentucky Bar Association requires me to inform you that case expenses and court costs are in addition to the above-discussed attorney fee and the client is responsible for the same. Further, the attorney fee percentages, discussed above, are computed before any deduction for case costs and expenses.
