FEES

Mr. Giffin will work closely with you to use the fee arrangement that is best for you or your company. He will take cases for investors who have lost money, employees who have been denied their rights and other plaintiffs, including businesses, on a contingent fee basis. This means that you are charged a fee only if we are successful. The contingent fees range from 33 1/3 % to 40% of the net recovery (total recovery minus expenses) depending on the complexity of the case, the likelihood of recovery and the amount involved. You will be responsible for expenses such as arbitration filing fees, copying, postage, deposition costs and expert witness fees if an expert is used. If you prefer he will take you case on an hourly fee basis or a hybrid basis where a lower hourly fee is used in combination with a lower contingency % if a recovery is made.
