How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
The attorney fee charged by this office is contingent. This means that you will not pay any attorney fees to this office if we don't obtain or maintain benefits on your behalf. This also means that any benefits obtained by this office will be charged at a percentage rate. You need not worry about whether your attorney is "running up the bill on your case." In other words, we get paid an agreed upon percentage when you get paid. Whether it turns out to be a simple case or a complicated case, the percentage agreed upon remains the same. In this way, the attorney is the one who is taking the risk of not getting paid. That is why we work hard for our clients.
The only costs that are charged to clients are long distance telephone calls, copying costs, money paid out by the firm to the doctor, or other providers who will not provide assistance or records without payment, court filing fees and other litigation expenses (court reporters for depositions, as an example) if necessary. The client is responsible for these costs even if the recovery of additional benefits is unsuccessful. The Law Office of Dale Wagner makes every effort to keep these types of costs to a minimum.
