How much do you charge to represent me?

For personal injury claims, it is $0 up front and I only get paid if I am successful in getting you a settlement or award. Then the fee is 1/3 plus costs. *If your case proceeds to litigation, the fee may be higher.

For civil rights cases it is a case-by-case basis.
