Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas
dtpa cases and legal fees
If I hire an attorney to handle my case on a contingency basis, how much of the total settlement am I entitled to after court costs and fees? In other words, am I entitled to only the original amount we sue for or do I get a straight percentage of the total if we win after court costs and filing fees are paid?

Re: dtpa cases and legal fees
The contingency contract should be clear and you should ask your attorney....our contracts give us a percentage of all collected plus our costs...and rarely do we receive what we ask for our clients...as we ask for more than we think the Jury will award...
