No Hourly Fees – Aligned with our Clients' Best Interests
Besides the skills and experience of our attorneys, another facet of our commercial litigation practice that benefits our clients is our fee arrangement. We typically work on a contingency basis, meaning that our fees are derived from a portion of the financial recoveries we obtain for our clients.
We don't bill by the hour, so we share a financial incentive with our clients. It's in our best interests, as well as our clients, to succeed, and to do so efficiently and promptly. Since we don't charge hourly fees and we're paid only after recovery, our clients can rest assured that we're focused on winning their case, not on billing hours. If there is no recovery, you may be responsible for certain litigation expenses, but you pay no attorneys' fees.
And at Gray Ritter Graham, we're trial lawyers. That means we're ready and willing to take every case to the courtroom.
Team Approach to Commercial Litigation
Our clients receive a dedicated team of legal professionals, including attorneys, paralegals and support staff. But we know that the most important member of each team is our client. We keep them informed throughout the entire process and value their input in devising a successful strategy.
