Every case is taken on a contingency basis, which means clients pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation on their behalf. When we serve as a client’s personal injury lawyer in St. Louis, we advance every cost of building the case so injured people can focus on recovery rather than legal expenses.
