Can You Judge an Attorney's Ability Based on His Legal Fee? http://www.oginski-law.com/library/ca... NY Medical Malpractice & Personal Injury Lawyer Gerry Oginski Explains 516-487-8207 Email: [email protected] Some people believe that if an attorney charges an exorbitant hourly fee, then he must be good. The common thinking is that only the best can afford someone with such high fees. When we read in the newspaper that an attorney charges $750 an hour or even $1000 an hour, we think this attorney must be special. Does he have some secret potion or secret sauce that he uses to wow judges and jurors? You should know there are two different types of attorneys in New York. Those that charge hourly fees and those that work on contingency. Lawyers who handle accident cases, medical malpractice cases and wrongful death cases only get paid if they obtain a result that is favorable for their client. They receive a percentage, set by law, if they are successful. Those attorneys do not work on an hourly fee. If you are trying to determine which attorney is best for you based upon the legal fee that an attorney charges, in a case involving an accident matter, medical malpractice matter or even wrongful death matter, you will be unable to make that decision based only on the size of their legal fee. That's because the legal fee in those cases is the same for every lawyer in New York Watch the video to learn more...
