Do you have a written agreement with an attorney or law firm that you want to sue
With certain narrow exceptions, California law requires attorney fee contracts to be in writing if the attorney is being paid on a contingent basis, or if the total expense to the client, including attorney fees and costs, is expected to exceed $1,000. The attorney is also required to give you a duplicate copy of the fully executed fee agreement at the time the agreement is entered into. There are additional requirements regarding what the agreement must contain depending on whether the attorney is to be paid on a contingent bases or on some other basis, such as an hourly or flat fee basis. Requirements for contingency fee contracts are found at California Business & Professional Code section 6147. Requirements for non-contingency fee contracts are found at California Business & Professions Code section 6147. Medical Malpractice contingency fee agreements are subject to additional limitations that are set forth in California Business & Professions Code section 6146. That section limits the amount of fees an attorney can charge in a medical malpractice case.
