Cain & Skarnulis lawyers have big-firm credentials.  But the firm’s fees are—by design—lower than larger firms.  We can achieve this because we maintain lower firm overhead, avoid waste, and assign tasks to a paralegal whenever appropriate.  The firm reviews each engagement to offer the best billing structure, and to create more of a client/firm partnership.  The firm offers a number of billing options, including:

• Hourly Billing

Whether it is traditional hourly billing or a blended rate for partners and associates, Cain & Skarnulis lawyers and professionals provide stellar counsel with reasonable rates and detailed billing records.  More importantly, the firm prides itself on efficiency, reducing the overall hours necessary for case preparation.  Blended Rate billing is generally offered to clients who have “volume” litigation.

• Contingent Fee

In many instances, the firm prefers to share the risks and rewards of litigation with its clients.  Contingent fee billing is gaining popularity in business litigation, and Cain & Skarnulis has a strong preference for commercial contingent fee cases.

• Blended Billing

In some cases, a combination of hourly and contingent fee billing makes sense to mitigate exposure and preserve upside potential.

• Outcome-Determinative Billing, or "Reverse Contingent Fee"

Defense cases can also be prepared under a contingent fee arrangement, dependent on the firm’s success in its defense, as measured against a benchmark case value.  If the firm minimizes or eliminates liability, the firm’s fees fluctuate depending on the final result.
