The Firm
Legal Fees: Our Philosophy
At Farrah Law, we believe that access to justice should not depend on a client's ability to pay upfront. Our fee arrangements are designed to align our interests with yours — we succeed when you succeed.
Contingency Fee
For personal injury and wrongful death matters, you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf.
We Advance Costs
We advance litigation expenses — filing fees, experts, depositions — and recover them only from a successful outcome.
Free Consultation
Every prospective client receives a free, confidential initial consultation with no obligation to retain our services.
No Fee Unless We Win
For personal injury, wrongful death, and most civil litigation matters, Farrah Law works on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no attorney's fees unless and until we recover compensation on your behalf.
Our contingency arrangement removes the financial barrier that prevents many deserving clients from pursuing justice. You should never have to choose between paying your bills and holding a wrongdoer accountable.
When we accept a case on contingency, we invest our own time, resources, and expertise — because we believe in the merits of your claim and are committed to achieving the best possible result.
Costs and Expenses
In addition to attorney's fees, litigation involves out-of-pocket costs such as court filing fees, expert witness fees, deposition costs, and investigation expenses. We advance these costs on your behalf during the case.
These advanced costs are reimbursed from the recovery at the conclusion of the case. We will always discuss anticipated expenses with you openly before they are incurred.
Commercial & Business Litigation
For commercial and business litigation matters, fee arrangements are discussed and agreed upon at the outset of the representation. Depending on the nature and complexity of the matter, we may work on an hourly basis, a flat fee, a contingency arrangement, or a hybrid of these structures.
We are transparent about our billing practices and will provide you with a clear engagement letter setting out the agreed fee arrangement before any work begins.
