Morgan & Morgan, like many personal injury law firms, typically works on a contingency fee basis for settlements. This means they only get paid if they win your case and secure a settlement for you.
The percentage they take from the settlement will vary depending on several factors, including:
* **Complexity of the case:** More complex cases requiring extensive work or specialized knowledge will likely have a higher fee percentage.
* **Anticipated level of effort:** Cases expected to take a long time or require a significant amount of effort from the lawyers will typically have a higher fee.
* **Likelihood of success:** If your case is considered high-risk (meaning there's a lower chance of winning), the law firm may charge a higher percentage to compensate for the potential time and resources invested.
**In general, Morgan & Morgan's fee falls somewhere between 33% and 40% of the settlement amount.**
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
* Some cases may have additional costs on top of the contingency fee, such as filing fees, court costs, or expert witness fees. These are typically deducted from the settlement before you receive your portion.
* It's important to discuss the fee structure in detail with a Morgan & Morgan attorney before you hire them. Get everything in writing so you understand exactly what percentage they will take and what other costs you may be responsible for.
