Most take a few minutes to check, ideally before you sign anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>A contingency fee agreement missing any required disclosure is voidable<\/strong> at your option under California law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whether the fee comes out before or after costs<\/strong> can move your check by tens of thousands of dollars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>California has no certified specialty in personal injury law<\/strong>, so &#8220;certified personal injury specialist&#8221; is a claim that can&#8217;t be backed up here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You can fire your lawyer at any time<\/strong>, and switching doesn&#8217;t mean paying two full fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The fee agreement is missing something California requires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/california\/code-bpc\/division-3\/chapter-4\/article-8-5\/section-6147\/\">Business and Professions Code section 6147<\/a> requires every contingency agreement to be in writing, with a signed copy given to you, and to state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>The fee percentage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How case costs affect both the fee and your recovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether you could owe the lawyer anything for related work outside the agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That the fee is not set by law and is negotiable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If any of these is missing, the agreement is voidable at your option, and the lawyer is limited to a reasonable fee instead of the contract rate.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The lawyer won&#8217;t say whether the fee comes out before or after costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Case costs are what the firm spends on your claim: filing fees, records, depositions, expert witnesses. They&#8217;re repaid from the settlement. The question is whether the lawyer&#8217;s percentage is taken from the full settlement or from what&#8217;s left after costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a $300,000 settlement with $45,000 in costs and a one-third fee:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Method<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Fee<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>You receive<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Costs come out first<\/td><td>$85,000<\/td><td>$170,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fee comes out first<\/td><td>$100,000<\/td><td>$155,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gap always equals the fee percentage times total costs. On a $1 million case with $180,000 in costs at 40%, it&#8217;s $72,000. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calbar.ca.gov\/Portals\/0\/documents\/publicComment\/2019\/Sample-Fee-Agreement-Forms-for-Public-Comment-(03-15-19).pdf\">State Bar&#8217;s sample fee agreement<\/a> calculates the fee <strong><em>after<\/em><\/strong> costs. Ask to see the math on a hypothetical $100,000 settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medical liens are a separate deduction from case costs. Here&#8217;s how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/lien-on-settlement-proceeds-california-guide\">liens on settlement proceeds work in California<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The lawyer calls their percentage &#8220;standard&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No California law or State Bar rule sets a standard contingency percentage for injury cases. Section 6147(a)(4) requires your agreement to say the opposite: the fee is negotiable and not set by law. The State Bar&#8217;s own sample agreement leaves the percentages blank.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. The fee jumps the day a lawsuit is filed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many agreements raise the percentage partway through a case. Find the exact trigger. Filing a complaint can take an afternoon, while preparing for trial takes months of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stanford law professor Nora Freeman Engstrom studied high-volume injury practices and found their fees <a href=\"https:\/\/law.stanford.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Sunlight-and-Settlement-Mills-Final.pdf\">escalated at filing<\/a>, while the conventional practices she compared them to generally escalated when substantial trial preparation began. She also found that only about 23% to 31% of contingency lawyers nationally use tiered fees at all.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The lawyer claims to be a &#8220;certified personal injury specialist&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Bar of California currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calbar.ca.gov\/legal-professionals\/legal-specialization\/legal-specialty-areas\">certifies specialists in 11 areas<\/a> (a 12th, Privacy Law, launches January 1, 2027), and personal injury isn\u2019t one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Rule of Professional Conduct 7.4(a), a lawyer can only claim certification from the State Bar or an accredited body, and the communication has to name that body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lawyer saying they specialize in or limit their practice to personal injury is fine. The word &#8220;certified&#8221; is the problem. The <a href=\"https:\/\/members.calbar.ca.gov\/search\/ls_search.aspx\">Certified Specialist Search<\/a> settles it in under a minute. Outside California, check your own state bar&#8217;s list.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. The lawyer has public discipline on their record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discipline in California is public. Search any lawyer by name or bar number, and you&#8217;ll see license status, admission date, and any reproval, suspension, or disbarment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>What to check<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Where<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>License status and discipline<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.calbar.ca.gov\/attorney\/\">State Bar attorney search<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Specialist certification<\/td><td>State Bar Certified Specialist Search<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>File a complaint (free)<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calbar.ca.gov\/public\/file-complaints-claims\/file-attorney-complaint\/how-file-complaint-against-attorney\">State Bar complaint portal<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clean record means no public discipline. Most complaints close at intake and never appear.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Someone approached you at the hospital or called out of the blue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rule 7.3(a) bans lawyers from soliciting clients through live, in-person, or real-time contact for financial gain. There&#8217;s no waiting period after which it becomes acceptable. Section 6152 makes it illegal to use &#8220;runners&#8221; or &#8220;cappers&#8221; to bring in cases, which covers tow drivers, hospital staff, or anyone else steering you toward a firm for a kickback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section 6152(b) adds a protection worth knowing: a general release of a liability claim signed during your first stay in a hospital or clinic, within 15 days of admission, is presumed fraudulent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ads, billboards, and websites aren&#8217;t solicitation. A stranger at your bedside is.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. The lawyer guarantees a result or promises quick cash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California bans attorney advertising that guarantees an outcome or promises immediate cash or a quick settlement, under section 6157.2. A lawyer who names a dollar figure before reviewing your medical records and the insurance policies is guessing.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. &#8220;No fee unless we win&#8221; with nothing said about costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Rule 7.1, an ad promising no fee unless you recover can mislead if it doesn&#8217;t say whether you&#8217;ll still owe case costs. Ask directly: if you lose, who pays the costs?<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. You hear about a settlement offer after the fact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rule 1.2(a) says you decide whether to settle. Not the firm. Rule 1.4.1 requires your lawyer to promptly tell you the amount and terms of every written settlement offer. If you learn about an offer weeks later, or only ever see the final number, raise it with the lawyer in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To judge whether an offer is reasonable, it helps to know what similar claims have resolved for. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dklaw.com\/insights\/personal-injury-settlement-amounts-2026\">settlement data from 62 closed DK Law cases<\/a> breaks that down.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Your case was handed to another firm without your written consent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawyers from different firms can split a fee, but under Rule 1.5.1 only with your written consent after full written disclosure, and only if the total fee doesn&#8217;t go up. If your intake was at one firm and your lawyer works at another, ask whether a referral fee is being paid.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Non-lawyer staff are giving you legal advice or quoting your fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paralegals can&#8217;t give legal advice or set fees under section 6450(b), and non-lawyers can&#8217;t share in legal fees under Rule 5.4(a). Case managers handling day-to-day work on your file is normal. Case managers telling you what your case is worth, or whether to take an offer, is not.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. The lawyer says you can&#8217;t fire them, or that switching means paying twice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can discharge your lawyer at any time, with or without a reason. The California Supreme Court settled this in <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/california\/supreme-court\/3d\/6\/784.html\"><em>Fracasse v. Brent<\/em><\/a>, and a clause in the agreement saying otherwise doesn&#8217;t change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former lawyer gets the reasonable value of work done up to that point, paid only if there&#8217;s eventually a recovery. That amount comes out of the original contract fee, so the total doesn&#8217;t increase. Case costs the first firm advanced are still owed from the recovery.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things that aren&#8217;t red flags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>TV ads and billboards.<\/strong> Advertising is permitted under Rule 7.2 and isn&#8217;t solicitation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A case manager running your file.<\/strong> Supervised staff work is expressly allowed under section 6450 and Rule 5.3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The firm advancing case costs.<\/strong> That&#8217;s standard. The red flag is failing to explain how costs are repaid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A fee above 33%.<\/strong> California has no percentage cap on ordinary injury fees. The legal test is whether a fee is unconscionable under Rule 1.5, judged on factors like the work involved and the result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More common assumptions about injury lawyers are covered in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dklaw.com\/the-fine-print\/8-common-misconceptions-about-personal-injury-lawyers\">8 common misconceptions about personal injury lawyers<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to switch lawyers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If no lawsuit has been filed, send written notice to your current firm and the insurance adjuster that you&#8217;ve hired new counsel. Your new lawyer usually handles this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a lawsuit is pending, you, your old lawyer, and your new lawyer sign <a href=\"https:\/\/selfhelp.courts.ca.gov\/substitution-attorney\">Judicial Council form MC-050<\/a>, which needs no court order and no filing fee.
