What are the costs for representation? What if I can’t afford a lawyer?

Attorney Dunn represents all of its clients on a contingent-fee basis, except in worker’s compensation matters, which is governed by Massachusetts statute. If he accept your case, you will only be responsible for paying legal fees if he has been successful in obtaining compensation for you. You are not responsible for any legal fee if there is no monetary compensation awarded to you. There is also no charge for the initial consultation. If Attorney Dunn does decide to accept your case, you will not be asked to pay legal expense or costs in advance. If based on the initial consultation, and any preliminary investigation that Attorney Dunn undertakes, it is determined that you have a claim worth pursuing, you will then be asked to sign a contingent fee agreement, which will be explained in detail to your satisfaction, and which will provide that there is no fee unless you receive compensation.
