At Marin & Murphy Law Firm, we’re here to help you seek justice after a personal injury without the stress of upfront legal costs. We know that understanding attorney fees can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with an injury. That’s why we’re upfront about our fee structure—so you can focus on recovery while we handle the fight.

Our Experience in Personal Injury Cases

With decades of legal experience, the personal injury attorneys at our Firm has successfully represented countless clients in personal injury cases, from car accidents to slip and fall to medical malpractice. We’ve secured substantial settlements and verdicts, ensuring our clients get the compensation they deserve. Our experience means you get top-tier representation with clear, honest communication about costs.

Our Personal Injury Fee Structure

We operate on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, which means:

  • No upfront fees: There are no upfront costs to start your case.
  • Fee as a percentage of recovery: Our fee is a portion of your settlement or verdict, and only if there is a recovery.
  • No fee if there is no recovery: If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fees for our legal services.

Typical Contingency Fee Details

Our contingency fee ranges from 33 1/3% to 40% of your total recovery, depending on your case’s complexity and resolution stage.

Example Calculation

To show you how it works:

  • In the event your case has a 33 1/3% contingency fee and we obtain a $150,000 settlement or verdict on your behalf, our fee would be $50,000 (33% of $150,000).
  • In the event your case has a 40% contingency fee and we obtain a $250,000 settlement or verdict on your behalf, our fee would be $100,000 (40% of $250,000).

This aligns our interests with yours—we only succeed when you do.

Additional Costs and How They Are Handled

Beyond our contingency fee, there may be case-related costs, such as:

  • Court filing fees
  • Expert witness fees
  • Medical record retrieval
  • Investigation expenses

We advance these costs for you—no upfront payment required. If there is a recovery, they’re deducted from your recovery. If you do not recovery, you do NOT owe us reimbursement for your case cots. We’ll give you a detailed cost estimate during your consultation so you’re never caught off guard.

What to Expect in a Personal Injury Case

Personal injury cases vary, but here’s the typical process:

  1. Initial Consultation: We review your case, explain fees, and answer questions.
  2. Investigation: We collect evidence, like accident reports or medical records.
  3. Filing the Claim: We submit your case to the at-fault party or court.
  4. Negotiation: We push for a fair settlement with the other side.
  5. Trial (if needed): If no settlement is reached, we fight for you in court.
  6. Resolution: You receive your compensation, and we deduct our fees and costs.

We guide you every step of the way, tailoring our approach to your case.

Financial Support Options

We remove financial barriers with:

  • No upfront fees: Start your case at no cost.
  • Advanced costs: We cover expenses, repaid only if there is a recovery.
  • Flexible planning: We’ll discuss options to fit your situation.

Our Commitment to You

We’re here to make this easy for you:

  • Clear Communication: You’re always in the loop.
  • Fee Transparency: No surprises—just straightforward terms.
