Atlanta, GA personal injury attorney Trent Shuping talks about how Warshauer Woodward Atkins charges for their services. He explains that the firm operates on a contingency fee basis, similar to the model often seen in television advertisements. Under this structure, clients are not charged any fees unless the firm successfully secures a recovery on their behalf, with the fee calculated as a percentage of the recovered amount. This approach enables the firm to represent clients who may not have the means to pay hourly legal rates.

In substantial cases, where the firm invests hundreds of hours and incurs significant expenses—such as filing fees, deposition costs, and expert witness fees—clients are not required to pay anything upfront. If the firm does not achieve a recovery, the client owes nothing. When a recovery is obtained, the firm’s fee and associated expenses are deducted from the total amount awarded, covering costs that can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars, including deposition and expert witness fees.
