Santa Ana, CA commercial litigation attorney Dan Callahan explains how Callahan Consulting charges for their services. He notes that he structures his fees with flexibility to accommodate the client’s situation. For personal injury cases, where clients typically cannot afford upfront costs, he works on a negotiated contingency fee basis. In matters where another attorney engages him and billing is done hourly, he generally charges an hourly rate, though he may also offer a hybrid arrangement combining contingency and hourly fees. In some cases, he employs a deferred fee structure, billing for his services but deferring payment until the conclusion of the case. When representing a plaintiff, deferred or contingency arrangements are more common; for defendants, he typically works on a standard hourly basis, focusing on delivering the best possible outcome.
