What Should I Ask A Lawyer Before Signing A Contingency Agreement

Before signing, you want clarity on who runs the file, how the fee changes if the case becomes harder, what costs are separate, how updates work, and what the first major milestones will be. That is how you avoid comparing firms on charm alone.
