Most firms take 33% to 35% if the case settles before a lawsuit is filed, and 40% to 45% once one is filed. We charge 29% standard, and 33% if we file suit. The actual dollar figure depends on what gets recovered, and at every fee level the firm never makes more than the client.
Nearly all Colorado injury firms work on contingency, which means the fee comes out of the recovery and you pay nothing upfront. Rates here typically run 33% to 35% before a lawsuit and 40% to 45% after one is filed. Ours are 29% and 33%.
We built the firm around modern case management technology, which keeps our overhead low and puts more of Dylan's time into casework instead of administration. Same trial-ready aggression, less cost to run the firm. When technology makes the work more efficient, the client should keep the savings. So we pass that difference on instead of pocketing it.
Case costs are the out-of-pocket expenses of building your claim: ordering medical records, court filing fees, expert witness fees. They are separate from our fee, and we keep them down by using vetted providers and by using technology to avoid the expenses we can. What you will never see from us is a technology charge. Firms are increasingly using software to do the work paralegals and assistants used to do, then billing that software back to the client, often $150 to $700 or more on top of an already higher percentage. They cut the salary and charge you for the replacement. Ask any firm you are considering whether their technology shows up on your settlement statement. Ours never will. Technology is our cost of doing business, not a way to take more from injured clients.
Usually yes, because fault is only part of it. The claim still has to be built and documented, and there are often several policies in play, including your own coverage. We know which ones apply and how to pursue each, so no available coverage gets missed.
It depends on your injuries. For something minor that needed no treatment, probably not. If you needed medical care, missed work, or are still in treatment, a lawyer usually changes the outcome by more than the fee costs. The consultation is free and we only earn a fee if we recover for you.
