Attorney’s Fee for Personal Injury:

In cases where your personal injury claim is settled without the need for a trial, we offer a highly competitive attorney’s fee of 25% of the awarded amount plus attorney costs. This fee structure ensures that you retain a significant portion of your rightful compensation, enabling you to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other financial burdens resulting from the accident.

If your case proceeds to trial and results in a successful outcome, our attorney’s fee is set at 33.3% of the awarded amount plus attorney costs. We understand that trial cases often involve additional time, resources, and litigation expenses. Our fee structure takes these factors into account while striving to provide you with competitive and reasonable pricing within the industry. Rest assured that we will diligently represent your interests and fight for the compensation you deserve, using our expertise and experience to navigate the complexities of the courtroom.

When it comes to personal injury cases, we understand that financial concerns can weigh heavily on your mind. At The Law Offices of Michael Alan Siddons, Esquire, PLLC, we believe that quality legal representation should be accessible to all, without adding to your financial burdens. Our attorney’s fee structure is designed with fairness and transparency in mind, ensuring that you receive top-notch legal assistance without sacrificing your financial well-being.

 

In our commitment to making legal representation affordable, we operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that you only pay attorney’s fees if we successfully resolve your case and secure compensation on your behalf. By eliminating the need for upfront payments, we alleviate the financial strain often associated with pursuing a personal injury claim. This arrangement allows you to focus on your recovery and peace of mind, knowing that you have dedicated legal advocates working tirelessly on your behalf.

Attorney’s Fee for Chapter 7 Debtors:

Under this Pay Before You File option, you will pay the Law Firm a total of $2,338.00 prior to the filing of your bankruptcy case for the Pre-Filing Services and Post-Filing Services in a single lump sum payment. The amount reflected includes the $338.00 filing fee, plus a $2,000.00 flat attorney’s fee.

You may either pay the Law Firm the $2,338.00 required under this Pay Before You File option yourself, or you may have someone else, such as a friend or family member, pay this amount on your behalf. If you choose to have someone else pay this amount on your behalf, the payment must be treated as a gift, and you may not pay the person back after the bankruptcy case has been filed.

In summary, under the Pay Before You File option:

  1. You, or someone acting on your behalf, are required to pay the full amount of attorney fees and filing fees for the Pre-Filing Services and Post-Filing Services before your case is filed,
  2. If someone pays any amounts due to the Law Firm on your behalf, such payments must be treated as a gift, and you may not pay those amounts back after your bankruptcy case has been filed.

Under this Pay by Layaway option, you will pay the Law Firm a total of $2,338.00 prior to the filing of your bankruptcy case for the Pre-Filing Services and Post-Filing Services. However, unlike in Pay Before You File option discussed above, you are not required to pay the entire amount due to the Law Firm in a single lump sum payment. Rather, you may deposit funds with the Law Firm over a period of time. The Law Firm will hold each deposit payment that you make in its IOTA/IOLTA Trust Account. Once the Law Firm has collected the full amount due, the Law Firm will proceed with filing your bankruptcy case. The amount reflected includes the $338.00 filing fee, plus a $2,000.00 flat attorney’s fee.

You may either pay the Law Firm the $2,338.00 required under this Pay by Layaway option yourself, or you may have someone else, such as a friend or family member, pay this amount on your behalf. If you choose to have someone else pay this amount on your behalf, the payment must be treated as a gift, and you may not pay the person back after the bankruptcy case has been filed.

In summary, under the Pay by Layaway option:

  1. You, or someone acting on your behalf, are required to pay the full amount of attorney fees and filing fees for the Pre-Filing Services and Post-Filing Services before your case is filed; however, unlike under the Pay Before You File option, the Law Firm will allow you to deposit the amount due over a period of time rather than in a single lump sum payment,
  2. If someone pays any amounts due to the Law Firm on your behalf, such payments must be treated as a gift, and you may not pay those amounts back after your bankruptcy case has been filed.

In addition, to help ensure that the Low Money Down Option is an appropriate payment method for each representation, the Law Firm only offers the Low Money Down payment option to prospective Debtors who:

  1. Have been fully employed by the same employer for at least 90 days;
  2. Have a minimum gross income of at least $2,500.00 per month.

This Low Money Down Option will allow you to pay some of our attorney’s fee in installments over six (6) months after we file your case. Under the Low Money Down Option, we will split our work for you into two separate agreements in order to offer you the ability to pay after your case is filed. The first agreement will cover the Pre-Filing Services only (the “Pre-Filing Agreement”), and the second agreement will cover the Post-Filing Services and Supplemental Post-Filing Services (the “Post-Filing Agreement”).

If you agree to proceed with the Low Money Down Option, you will be required to sign the Pre-Filing Agreement before the Law Firm will file your bankruptcy Case. Our flat attorney’s fee for the Pre-Filing Services will be $500.00. You must sign the Pre-Filing Agreement and pay the $500.00 flat fee and $338.00 filing fee before the Law Firm will perform the Pre-Filing Services and file your case. Please be advised that the Pre-Filing Services do not include all of the tasks that must be performed to successfully complete your chapter 7 case.

After your case is filed, you will have three choices:

  • You can represent yourself in your bankruptcy case (called “proceeding pro se”);
  • You can hire another attorney to represent you in your bankruptcy case; or,
  • Within ten (10) days after your case is filed, you can enter into a Post-Filing Agreement with us.

If you choose to represent yourself or to hire another attorney to represent you (either of which are completely up to you), you will not owe us anything additional. We will ask the bankruptcy court to allow us to withdraw as your lawyer in accordance with the bankruptcy rules, but we will continue to represent you in the case and perform all necessary services until and unless the bankruptcy court allows us to withdraw.

If you choose to enter into a Post-Filing Agreement with us, we will provide you with the Post-Filing Services in exchange for an additional flat attorney’s fee of $1,500.00. You will be able to pay this fee over a period of three (3) months after we file your case in equal monthly installment payments of $500.00/month. This fee DOES NOT include the $338 filing fee (which you will already have paid in advance at the time of filing your case directly to the Court).

In the event the Law Firm performs any of the Supplemental Post-Filing Services after the bankruptcy case is filed, you will be invoiced for those services at the Law Firm’s customary rates. The Law Firm will not perform any Excluded Services unless agreed to in writing by the Law Firm pursuant to a separate agreement.

You may either pay the Law Firm the amounts required under this Low Money Down option yourself, or you may have someone else, such as a friend or family member, pay these amounts on your behalf. If you choose to have someone else pay these amounts on your behalf, the payments must be treated as a gift, and you may not pay the person back after the bankruptcy case has been filed.

If you elect to proceed under the Low Money Down option and sign the Post-Filing Agreement, you will have fourteen (14) days from execution of the agreement to cancel the Post-Filing Agreement for any reason. If you elect to cancel the Post-Filing Agreement, you will not be liable for any post-filing payments due to the Law Firm and the Law Firm may seek to withdraw from the representation as provided for above.

In summary, under the Low Money Down option:

  1. You are required to pay the $338 filing fee and a flat attorney’s fee of $500.00 for the Pre-Filing Services before your case is filed,
  2. After the case is filed, you may elect to represent yourself, obtain alternative counsel, or enter into a Post-Filing Agreement with the Law Firm to perform the Post-Filing Services for an additional flat fee of $1,500.00, which will be payable in three monthly installments of $500.00/month.
  3. If you require or desire any of the Supplemental Post-Filing Services described above you will be required to pay additional legal fees based on our hourly rates of $325/hour for attorney time and $175/hour for paralegal time, and
  4. If you require or desire any of the Excluded Services described above, you will be required to enter into a separate written agreement on terms and conditions that are mutually acceptable to you and to the Law Firm.
  5. If someone pays any amounts due to the Law Firm on your behalf, such payments must be treated as a gift, and you may not pay those amounts back after your bankruptcy case has been filed.

THERE ARE ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES CONCERNING THE LOW MONEY DOWN OPTION THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR FEE AGREEMENTS AND YOU SHOULD READ VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE SELECTING THIS OPTION.
