In California, the law allows attorneys to handle accident and injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that legal fees are paid as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, and not at an hourly rate. If you don't win your case, you generally are not obligated to pay anything. All of the terms determined and agreed upon in writing in the contingency fee agreement, which is signed before the attorney begins working on a case. In the video below, founding partner Stephen Estey answers the common question, "How can I afford an attorney in California after a car accident?"
