Filing Fees and Costs
Litigation always includes expenses. Litigation expenses may include such things as court fees, jury fees, service of process charges, court reporters' fees, videographer fees, photocopying and reproduction costs, notary fees, messenger and other delivery fees, postage, deposition costs, travel costs, including parking, meals and hotel costs, investigation expenses, consultant costs and fees, expert witness costs and fees, professional mediator costs and fees, arbitrator and/or special master fees, facsimile charges, mileage charges, Federal Express deliveries, and other similar items. Costs and expenses are usually, but not always, charged at our cost. Costs and expenses do not include attorney fees.
In most cases, our office pays all fees and costs related to litigation at the beginning of the case or as the fees and costs are incurred. Once the case is over, we are reimbursed from whatever is eventually recovered. If there is no eventual recovery we do not look to you to pay these expenses. Instead, we waive them. Because of this we are very careful with cases selection. We only take on cases we expect to win. Further, because we have a financial stake in the case, you can be certain we are working hard to recover as much as possible.
