Contingency lawyer and fees for court expenses question
Hopefully this is the right place. If any of you have had to go beyond the EEOC and file an actual lawsuit and have a contingency lawyer, can you tell me if they have a clause in their contract saying that the client owes court fees/expenses even if the case is lost or there is no settlement. Since many here are fighting employment discrimination and may not be working, I think this seems wrong to hold the client responsible, but I keep seeing it pop up. Maybe lots of people miss it in the contract they sign also, so this post also serves as a warning to check the contracts carefully. Just want to know what your experiences have been in looking for and hiring a contingency lawyer. I understand you wouldn't owe them any hourly fees for their time but the court fees can add up right? Thanks!
