Answer:
At Barrow Law all personal injury cases are handled on contingency fee basis. This means that you are not required to pay an upfront retainer, hourly rate, or cover the litigation expenses while the case is pending. Instead, if there is a successful recovery, either by settlement or judgment, the attorney receives a percentage of the recover depending on when the case resolves. In addition the attorney recoups any expenses incurred in pursuing the matter. In the case that there is no recovery the client does not owe the attorney anything. The attorney does not get paid unless there is a successful recovery on the case.

The attorney-client relationship should be one of trust and confidence so be diligent in choosing an attorney for your personal injury or wrongful death case.
In addition to the questions that you already have you should consider asking the prospective attorney:
