We Accept Cases on a Contingency Fee Basis

When you work with our legal team on an Eaton Fire case, we operate on a contingency fee basis, ensuring your financial concerns don’t stand in the way of seeking justice. This means you won’t have to pay any upfront costs or legal fees throughout your case. Instead, our payment is directly tied to the success of your claim—we only receive compensation if we secure a settlement or court award on your behalf.

 

Simply put, “If there is no recovery, you will not be charged any fees or expenses for our services.”
