Understand Attorney Fees Before You Sign

Johnson Law uses a contingency fee structure for eligible personal injury matters. Under our Client-First Fee Promise, qualifying outstanding medical bills are paid or addressed before attorney fees are calculated according to the written fee agreement.

Client-First Fee Promise

Client First = Bills First, Fees Second*

In eligible personal injury matters, Johnson Law subtracts qualifying outstanding medical bills before calculating its attorney fee, according to the written fee agreement.

We believe your unpaid medical bills should not make your lawyer's fee bigger. Our clients have received thousands of extra dollars from their settlements compared with a simple gross-first 33% fee structure.
