What Does a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Las Cruces Cost?

Most nursing home abuse lawyers in New Mexico work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. The typical contingency fee ranges from 33 percent to 40 percent of the settlement or court award. Some lawyers may offer a free initial consultation. Costs can vary based on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. This is general information and not legal advice.
