Fees

At Blackburn & Green, we always charge a flat fee of 33 1/3%, even if your case goes to trial or appeal. And we'll stand by you as long as it takes to get a fair settlement. There is a big difference between a flat fee and an increasing fee. Lawyers who charge a flat fee earn a percentage of your total recovery amount - usually 33 1/3%.

This percentage stays the same regardless of whether the case is decided by settlement, trial or appeal. Lawyers who charge an increasing fee, however, can raise their percentage to as much as 45% if the case goes to trial, and as much as 50% if it's won by appeal. This fee structure is great for lawyers, but it penalizes you, the client, for going to trial and fighting for a better settlement.
