CONTINGENCY FEE ARRANGEMENTS AND COST CONSIDERATIONS
Many securities’ litigation attorneys, including Timothy L. Miles, operate on a contingency fee basis, which means:
- Clients do not pay any upfront fees or costs.
- Instead, the attorney’s fees and expenses are deducted from any settlement or judgment recovered on behalf of the class, typically as a court-approved percentage of the total recovery.
This arrangement ensures that investors can pursue their legal rights without bearing the financial burden of costly litigation, as the attorneys assume the risk and only receive compensation if they achieve a successful outcome for the class.
