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.
