If he is successful in obtaining compensation for your claim, Attorney Dunn receives a contingent fee of 33.3%, which is the typical fee arrangement, of the amount recovered. The fee in medical malpractice cases, although still contingent on you receiving compensation, is somewhat different and governed by Massachusetts law. This law provides for a sliding scale, beginning at 40% and sliding downward once certain thresholds of recovery are reached. Worker’s compensation cases are also handled somewhat differently and governed by statue.
