What is the Cost of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer?

At the Hines Law Firm, we know how important it is to obtain legal representation as soon as possible after an accident. Because of this, our personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. With this payment arrangement, you will not pay any upfront fees. If your case is not successful, you will owe nothing. If you do win your case, your personal injury lawyer will subtract a small percentage of your settlement or award to cover the cost of legal services.
