Is This Form Right For You?
Use This Form If:

- For those who want to establish a clear understanding of the financial obligations involved in their legal case, a Fixed Fee Agreement serves as a protective measure. It outlines all costs associated with the case, ensuring that both the attorney and client are on the same page.
- Clients who have experienced miscommunication or disputes with their attorneys in the past may find a Fixed Fee Agreement particularly useful. This written arrangement minimizes the risk of misunderstandings regarding fees and services.
- In cases where an attorney may need to withdraw from representation, a Fixed Fee Agreement provides a clear framework for such a situation. It allows both parties to understand their rights and responsibilities, reducing potential conflicts.
Do Not Use If:
- – This form is not appropriate for clients who require ongoing legal services that may vary significantly in scope and cost. In such cases, an hourly billing arrangement may be more suitable to accommodate fluctuating needs.
- – If a client is unsure about the legal matter or has not yet decided on a course of action, a Fixed Fee Agreement may not be the best choice. It is important to have a clear understanding of the legal issue before committing to a fixed fee.
- – Clients who are facing complex legal issues that require extensive research and preparation may find that a Fixed Fee Agreement does not adequately cover the potential costs involved. Hourly billing may provide more flexibility in these situations.
- – For individuals who are seeking legal advice without the intention of proceeding with a case, a Fixed Fee Agreement is not suitable. This agreement is designed for those who are ready to engage in legal representation and incur associated costs.
