Did you know that not all "No-Recovery, No-Fee" fee arrangements are the same? These types of fee arrangements can vary from attorney to attorney. Here are some very important questions you should ask before you select an attorney. The answers will determine how much goes into your pocket at the end of the case.

Ask the attorney what costs will be charged if there is a recovery. Some charge for things like investigator's time, paralegal time, or mileage when the attorney visits you or your doctor. Others will not charge for these expenses. Ask if they are going to charge for out of pocket costs if there is no recovery. Some will charge for costs like long distance telephone calls, costs of medical records and conferences with your doctor, even if there is no recovery. Others will not charge you any costs or attorney fees if there is no recovery when the case is finished.

Ask if the attorney has a real office in Brevard County, or just a telephone number (this is especially important if they charge for mileage). Don't let the attorney tell you it's not important for them to be easily accessible to you or the courthouse.

Your case is very important to you. Making the right choice of attorney may be the difference between success and failure. You owe it to yourself to be informed.
