to hire
00:06
our firm we typically work on a
00:07
contingency fee basis which means we get
00:09
a percentage of whatever we’re able to
00:11
recover for our clients so we have a
00:13
vested interest to do as
00:15
as well as we can our fees
00:18
typically are one-third if no
00:21
lawsuit is is necessary and we probably
00:24
settle
00:25
maybe almost half of our clients cases
00:28
without a lawsuit
00:30
but because the litigation process is
00:32
expensive
00:34
and a lot more work for us our fees can
00:36
increase
00:37
beyond that one-third after a lawsuit’s
00:39
filed every case is a little bit
00:41
different
00:42
another important part of what we do for
00:45
our clients in a lot of cases
00:47
is pay all the litigation costs in
00:50
addition to help them with their medical
00:52
treatment because that is really
00:53
paramount getting our clients
00:55
the medical treatment they need is
00:58
the most important thing for both the
01:01
clients
01:01
and their cases so we really work hard
01:04
to
01:05
accomplish that for them

Houston, TX personal injury lawyer Shane Kadlec explains how much it costs to hire a personal injury lawyer at his firm. He explains that his firm typically works on a contingency fee basis, meaning they receive a percentage of whatever they are able to recover for their clients. This structure gives the firm a vested interest in achieving the best possible outcome. Their fees are generally one-third if no lawsuit is necessary, and nearly half of their clients’ cases are resolved without filing a lawsuit.

However, because litigation is more expensive and labor-intensive, fees can increase beyond that one-third once a lawsuit is filed, as each case is unique. Another critical aspect of their service is covering all litigation costs and assisting clients with medical treatment. Ensuring that clients receive the care they need is paramount, both for their well-being and for the success of their cases, and the firm works diligently to make that happen.
