[Fees calculated on the basis of net recovery, after all expenses of litigation. Most expenses responsibility of client, regardless of outcome.]~

No Divorce cases--a matter of principle.
Will handle post decree Domestic matters, at above hourly rates.
~People seeking representation on a contingent fee basis need to read the contract carefully. Some lawyers take percentages based upon "gross" rather than "net" recovery. In cases where multiple Depositions and/or expensive expert witnesses fees may be involved, this can make a very significant difference in what the client actually sees. Be very careful!
