Some spinal cord injury attorneys will not charge anything for the legal services unless you, as the client, are awarded damages either in a mediation, arbitration or in a court hearing. This can help families and clients that have limited resources to start a legal action.
Most attorneys will provide options for a free consultation either by phone or in person to help both the client and the attorney decide is this is a legal case worth pursuing. The attorney will usually provide information on both the positive and negative aspects of the case at this meeting.
As with any type of attorney or professional service try to meet with several people before you decide which attorney is best for you. Avoid using the lowest cost attorney as these are often the least experienced and may end up costing you more in the settlement.
