The assumed cost of legal representation unfortunately deters many people from seeking legal counsel when they need it most. The Law Office of Curtis Floyd operates under a contingency fee billing structure. This means a client does not pay any legal fees until we win his or her case.
Our firm knows that after an accident, the last thing the average person wants to worry about is the cost of hiring an attorney. We offer transparent billing, so our clients know exactly what to expect from every case.
Contingency Fees
Insurance companies have no obligation to act in a policyholder’s or claimant’s best interests; they exist to make money and paying claims runs counter to their goals.
When insurance companies attempt to lowball claimants or take advantage of unwary policyholders, our firm can hold them accountable and encourage fairer negotiations with our clients.
