Ohio attorneys working hard on your behalf
There is usually no reason for you to be concerned about having to pay a car accident or personal injury attorney to take your case. At Clements, Taylor, Butkovich & Cohen, L.P.A., Co., we offer a free initial consultation. And if you hire us to handle your case, we normally do so in return for a contingency fee. When you are in a car accident, the last thing you need to worry about is how much money it will take to hire a lawyer.
A free initial consultation and contingency fee arrangement mean that you do not have to deal with this headache. This means that you do not have to pay us any money up front. In fact, you don’t have to pay us anything at all, unless and until your vehicle accident case settles or you receive payment from a lawsuit.
What is a contingency fee in a car accident case?
A contingency fee is a percentage of your settlement or award amount, which compensates your law firm for helping you with your car accident or personal injury claim. When we take your case at Clements, Taylor, Butkovich & Cohen, L.P.A., Co., you agree up front what the percentage will be. This way, you know what portion of any settlement or award will be paid to us and, more importantly, what portion of any settlement or award is yours.

Who pays for costs and expenses in a car accident case?
