Representation for Personal Injury Lawsuits in Wisconsin

One reason for the popularity of the contingency fee arrangement is that it levels the playing field in the courtroom and allows the small to take on the mighty. When a client hires a law firm on a contingency fee basis, the client does not pay any legal fees until the law firm recovers money from the defendant. While the Yellow Pages are filled with lawyers ready to handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, there are only a few law firms willing to take business litigation matters on a contingency fee basis.

Many personal injury lawyers lack the experience to handle business cases on a contingency fee basis and, therefore, refuse to accept business litigation matters on a contingency fee basis. Likewise, big firms that charge high hourly fees – often $500 per hour or more – are unwilling to accept risk in handling business litigation matters since their high hourly rates build in a substantial profit margin without risk. Groth Law Firm, S.C. is willing to accept business cases on a contingency fee basis or a hybrid of contingency and hourly fee.

Often, small companies cannot compete with the financial resources of larger adversaries. Thus, while small businesses have meritorious claims, they cannot afford the heavy legal costs of high-quality lawyers and, therefore, must settle cases for pennies on the dollar or abandon any hope of recovery altogether.  Groth Law Firm S.C.'s contingency fee option allows individuals and small companies with meritorious claims, in significant business litigation matters, to hire an experienced trial attorney without paying legal fees until the dispute is resolved.  Groth Law Firm, S.C. has represented companies across Wisconsin even arguing before the Wisconsin Supreme Court on behalf of a small family business.
