At Mezrano® Law Firm, there is no upfront cost to get started and no fees unless we win your case. Our attorneys offer NO WIN = NO FEE representation, making sure the communities we serve have access to quality legal advocacy when they need it most.
We know a sudden accident in Alabama can lead to a lot of uncertainty. Expensive medical bills and lost income can add significant financial stress to your daily life. However, hiring an attorney doesn’t have to add to your financial burden.
Our team explains how much an Alabama personal injury lawyer costs, how the contingency fee structure works, what the fees cover, and how to get started at no cost to you. You can also contact us for a free consultation.
“ When you hire our firm, you're not taking on the financial risk—we are. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and no attorney's fees unless we recover compensation for you. If we don't win your case, you owe us nothing. And if we do recover compensation, we believe the client should always come first. We will never take more from a settlement or verdict than our client receives because our job is to make sure you walk away with the support and financial recovery you deserve.”
What a Contingency Fee Means at Mezrano® Law Firm
When you hire a lawyer who works on a contingency fee basis, it means the lawyer’s fees will be paid as a fixed percentage of the amount recovered for your claim. For personal injury lawyers, this fee is typically between one-third to 40% of the final recovery.
For example, if your Alabama personal injury lawyer negotiates a settlement for your car accident claim, about one-third of that final amount will be used to pay the lawyer’s fees. This arrangement means you never have to pay out of pocket, and the attorney’s fees are directly tied to the amount secured for your case.
However, the exact terms of your agreement will depend on what you and your lawyer agree to. You will know the contingency fee percentage before you hire your attorney, so there won’t be any surprises. You will know what to expect and how your fees will be calculated.
Do You Pay Anything Up Front?
No, you do not have to pay anything up front. At Mezrano® Law Firm, we offer a completely free, no-obligation, and confidential consultation to discuss your case, and you pay no initial fee to get started.
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win. However, it is important to distinguish attorney fees from case costs. Case costs include essential expenses to handle your claim. Examples of these include court filing fees, medical records retrieval, and hiring expert witnesses.
To protect your finances, our firm advances all case costs, so you won’t have to pay these expenses during the legal process. If we successfully secure a settlement or verdict, we are reimbursed for these advanced costs directly from the final recovery. If we do not recover money for your claim, you owe us nothing.
How a Personal Injury Lawyer's Contingency Fee Protects Injured Alabamians
An unexpected accident can completely change your life in an instant. On top of painful injuries, the stress of missed work, and lengthy recovery times, injured Alabamians often have to deal with substantial financial hardships and worry about the cost to hire a personal injury lawyer.
Contingency fees protect accident victims by removing the financial risk of hiring a lawyer. The attorney’s fees are contingent on the amount they secure for your claim, so you don’t have to pay those fees out of your own pocket.
Our founder, Steven Mezrano, understands these financial challenges firsthand. Before becoming a lawyer, he was hurt in a car crash and left with over $100,000 in unpaid medical bills. This experience inspired him to shape the firm’s mission. We pursue the best case results for our clients with unapologetically thorough case preparation and trial-readiness.
What Your Fees Cover and How Mezrano® Law Firm Builds Your Case
Your contingency fee allows us to meticulously build your personal injury claim. We prepare every case for trial and leave no stone unturned. Our case preparation includes:
- In-depth investigation: Uncovering crucial evidence, securing accident footage, and tracking down witnesses
- Trial preparation: Testing case strategies with focus groups and mock trials to strengthen our approach and ensure we can resonate with local juries
- Insurance communication: Handling all communications with insurance adjusters and shielding you from aggressive tactics designed to minimize your claim
- Settlement negotiations: Negotiating with insurers for the full value of your claim, including compensation for current and future needs
- Exceptional client care: Combining aggressive litigation with intentional, structured client care to support our clients every step of the way
We don’t rush cases. We build them. This means we leave no stone unturned during our investigations and take the time required to pursue better outcomes. Our success is measured by the impact we have on our clients’ lives, not the volume of cases we take.
