Frequently Asked
Questions
Will A Retainer Fee Apply To My Case?
Retainer fees are required for family law cases because Georgia law prohibits litigation of domestic cases on a contingency basis. We have a simple billing system which allows you to pay for retainer fees up front and hourly services on a monthly basis.
Rule 1.5 – Fees, Ga. R. Prof. Cond. 1.5 (d)(1)
What Is A Contingency Fee?
Negligence cases, such as personal injury and wrongful death claims can be handled on what is called a “contingency” basis. Meaning you are only charged attorney fees if your attorney successfully recovers compensation for your case. Detailed information on typical Georgia fees are found here.
Rule 1.5 – Fees, Ga. R. Prof. Cond. 1.5
Where Would My Lawsuit Be Filed?
Under Georgia law, suits are generally filed in the county where the Defendant or Corporation resides. However, there are several exceptions to this general rule for both domestic and negligence cases. Contact Hough Law to determine where your specific action should be filed.
Ga. Const. Art., VI § 2 ¶ I, ¶ VI
Will My Ex Have To Pay My Attorney Fees?
While there are several ways in which your ex spouse might become responsible for reimbursing your attorney fees, judges generally default to having each spouse responsible for their own fees. Contact Us to learn whether your ex might have to reimburse some or all of your attorney fees.
How Long Before My Injury Claim Is Resolved ?
Unfortunately, the answer is it depends. In most cases, negotiations for settlement of your claim with the at-fault party will not begin until you are mostly healed to ensure you are compensated for all losses you incurred, which can average 3-6 months for soft tissue injuries. Serious injuries often take much longer. Contact Us to speak to an attorney about your specific injuries.
Is There A Time Limit On My Negligence Case?
Yes. Depending on the circumstances of your injury, there is a certain time period that you must file a lawsuit in order to hold a negligent party legally liable to you for injury compensation. We refer to this time period as the “Statute Of Limitations.” Although each state specifies their own deadline, in Georgia, negligence cases must generally be filed within two years of the date you were injured.
