Fee breakdown
Every jurisdiction is different. Fees vary widely by state, county, court, and individual attorney. Contingency fees are typically 33% pre-suit, 40% post-filing, 45%+ if appealed - with clients responsible for costs (filing fees, expert witnesses, deposition transcripts). Ask for a written fee agreement before signing anything.
State rules varyResults are directional only. Every state has its own statutes, case law, and fee structures. This calculator uses general assumptions that may not reflect the specific rules in your state. Confirm with an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction before relying on these numbers.
