What Does a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Westlake Village Cost?

Many nursing home abuse lawyers in California work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Typical contingency fees range from 33 percent to 40 percent of the settlement or verdict. Some lawyers may charge a flat fee for initial consultations, which are often free. Costs for filing fees, expert witnesses, and depositions can add up, but these are usually advanced by the lawyer and deducted from the final award. This is general information and not legal advice.
