With A Reputation For Success in the Courtroom
If We Don’t Win Your Case, You Don’t Pay
We understand that the idea of hiring a personal injury attorney can be intimidating, particularly if you are worried about cost. At Simonson Goodman Platzer PC, we offer our personal injury services on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront or out-of-pocket expenses for you. Instead, our attorneys’ fees are paid as a portion of your total recovery (the percentage of your recovery that will be used to pay your attorney’s fees will be communicated to and agreed upon by you prior to you hiring our services). This means that you do not owe us anything unless we win your case and, in the unlikely event that we do not secure compensation for you, you do not pay us a dime.
