Revenue model

1. Contingency Fee Legal Services: The firm operates primarily on a contingency fee basis for personal injury and certain other cases. Under this model, clients pay no attorney fees upfront. The firm fronts all case costs including medical records, expert witnesses, investigations, depositions, and court filing fees. If the case is successful, the lawyer receives an agreed-upon percentage of the recovery. If the case is not successful, the client usually does not owe attorney fees. This model allows injured individuals with limited resources to access legal representation against large corporations or insurance carriers.
