Younglove Lyman & Coker Legal Fees
We are committed to providing quality legal services as efficiently as possible at a cost to you, the client, which is reasonably in keeping with community standards. Our fees are based on criteria which may include the experience of the lawyer, the complexity of the services to be performed, the results achieved, and the time involved.
Some legal services may be performed on an hourly fee basis. In most such cases, you will be requested to pay a retainer based on a fee estimate. For other services, a predetermined (fixed) fee may be appropriate, and you may be required to pay all or a portion of this fee in advance. In some matters, the legal fees may be handled on a contingency basis, where the fees are paid as a percentage of the amount of money recovered. Sometimes our fees are a blend of the hourly and percentage arrangements.
Fees can be a difficult subject, but a clear understanding from the beginning is desirable. To that end, we have published a fee schedule outlining our usual fee arrangements. If you have not received a copy, please ask for one.
Our policy requires our attorneys to discuss the fee arrangements in advance, and we will enter into a contract with you regarding our fees. If actual fees will exceed previous estimates, we will endeavor to advise you in advance. We are always willing to discuss your concerns regarding fees.
