Media Legal Malpractice Lawyer Examines the Idea of Needing a Written Fee Agreement Before Interaction

Media Legal Malpractice LawyerYears of practicing in the area of professional malpractice have taught me as an experienced Media Legal Malpractice Lawyer, that clients don’t always have a written fee agreement with their attorneys, and that brings to mind an important question. Is a written attorney-client fee agreement necessary to establish an attorney-client relationship? The answer to that question is an unequivocal no. In most cases, there is no requirement for the lawyer to describe the services to be rendered in a written fee agreement; however, as the client, you should certainly insist on a written fee agreement before engaging any lawyer.

 A written agreement is important because it protects both parties by setting forth each party’s responsibilities and outlining the scope of their engagement. In a malpractice case – should you find yourself in circumstances where you have to sue your lawyer – a written fee agreement can help you because it delineates the scope of your case and will preclude the attorney from attempting to defend his or her position based on the notion that they were not hired to do a certain thing or to engage in a certain pattern of behavior.

Do you think your attorney committed malpractice over the fee of your case?  Contact dedicated Media Legal Malpractice Lawyer Patrick Gibson for navigation.

Client Reviews

“I highly Recommend Gibson & Perkins. I have used their services for approximately 6 years now and been through a few cases together with very positive outcomes. Personally, I have used Paul Fellman and Walter Timby on those occasions. Both, as a team & separately these Attorneys were wonderful to work with and easily accessible to reach if I had any questions. Professionalism is the word that comes to mind to describe the firm, as a whole. Always completely prepared for any surprises that may pop up during a trial. They were well versed on all pertinent info pertaining to each case. As I client, I always felt I was an integral part of the team, not an after-thought, that had to be brought up to speed a half hour before the trial started. I could not recommend this firm and Mr. Fellman and Mr. Timby any higher.”
