Fees and Costs

All Initial Consultations are FREE until an agreement is reached on fees. Whether you call Mr. Falzon or meet with him you will not be charged a fee for an initial consultation.

At that time you can choose to move forward with representation or you may decide otherwise.

Mr. Falzon generally expects to handle Plaintiff personal injury and employment cases on CONTINGENCY. That means that the client does not owe a fee unless Mr. Falzon recovers money or obtains some other agreed upon result, such as reinstatement to your job. In personal injury cases Mr. Falzon fronts all costs. However, in employment cases clients are expected to pay out of pocket costs that are incurred once suit is filed as they are incurred. Mr. Falzon will discuss the potential amount of these anticipated costs as the litigation proceeds. Costs usually include the filing fee for bringing an action ($401), the fee for serving suit on your employer ($40), court reporter fees, expert witness fees and deposition fees. These fees must be paid by the client in advance of them being incurred.

Mr. Falzon charges by the hour for defending disciplinary action cases, defending employers or handling other types of civil cases as well as all appeals. Time is charged in increments of 1/10 of an hour plus out of pocket costs.
