The fear of high legal costs often prevents injury victims from seeking the justice they deserve. At Mickle & Bass, we believe financial barriers should never stand in the way of your rights. Understanding how legal fees work in South Carolina is the first step toward moving forward with confidence and peace of mind.
Most personal injury and workers’ compensation cases at Mickle & Bass are handled on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront costs to hire us. Our payment is a pre-agreed percentage of the final settlement or verdict we secure for you. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.
We never charge for an initial consultation. This allows you to speak with an experienced attorney, have your case evaluated, and understand your legal options without any financial obligation. At Mickle & Bass, we prioritize providing honest, expert advice so you can make informed decisions about your future from the very beginning.
Beyond attorney fees, legal cases involve costs like filing fees, medical record requests, and expert witness testimony. Mickle & Bass typically advances these costs to keep your case moving. These expenses are reimbursed from the final settlement. We maintain total transparency, ensuring you understand exactly how these costs are handled before signing.
In South Carolina, legal fees—especially in workers’ compensation—are often subject to strict regulatory caps and Commission approval. This ensures that attorney fees remain fair and reasonable. At Mickle & Bass, we adhere to these high standards of professional conduct, providing you with ethical representation that puts your financial recovery first.
Navigating a legal claim is stressful enough without worrying about hourly bills. By choosing a firm that operates on contingency, you ensure your attorney is fully invested in your success.
