Fee are paid only upon recovery in all of my practice areas.

Social Security Disability and SSI

Fees are strictly contingent and set by statute.

The vast majority of cases are won without a claimant having to go to Federal District Court.

If you win without going to Federal District Court, I charge a fee of 25% of past due benefits with a maximum fee cap of $6,000.00 (or the statutory cap in effect on the date of the decision awarding benefits).

If your case goes to Federal District Court, and if you receive a remand for rehearing, I will request a fee for my Federal Court time to be paid by the government. If I win for you at a rehearing, I charge a fee of 25% of past due benefits with a fee cap of $6,000 (or the statutory cap in effect on the date of the decision awarding benefits).

If your case goes to Federal District Court and you receive a remand for payment of your benefits, I will request a fee for my Federal Court time, to be paid by the government. I will also request as much as a full 25% of your past due benefits without a cap, offset by any fee I receive from the government.

Personal Injury

Fees are strictly contingent on your receiving a favorable outcome, either through arbitration award, jury verdict or settlement. If you do not receive a recovery, you owe no fee.

I charge 33 1/3% out of any recovery you receive if your case is resolved two weeks before trial or arbitration begins, and 40% out of any recovery you receive afterwards.

Workers’ Compensation

Fees are strictly contingent and set by statute. If you do not win your claim, improve your award, or reach a settlement, I receive no fee.

Fees are paid according to what occurs during the claims process. If your claim is denied and if you go to a hearing and win, the employer pays a fee set by the judge. If I help receive an increase in a disability award, I receive 10% of the increase. If you settle your claim, I receive a percentage of the settlement, 25% of the first $17,500 and 10% of each additional dollar.

Third-Party Claims

Fees are strictly contingent and set by statute. If you do not receive a recovery, you owe no fee.

Attorney fees are 33 1/3 percent of the full recovery.

After deducting attorney fees, the workers’ compensation carrier receives the lesser of the amount of its lien or two-thirds of what remains. You receive at least one-third of what remains after attorney fees are paid, at least 22 percent of the full recovery.
