No Upfront Costs—We Work on a Contingency Fee Basis

We understand that the financial impact of a workplace injury can be overwhelming, which is why Laguna Law Firm operates on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs, and our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you.
