Attorney Advertising

The content on this website may be considered attorney advertising and the solicitation of business. Information provided on the pages of this website is not legal advice. The choice of an attorney is important and should not be based solely on attorney advertising.

In plain English: We use our website to advertise our services to prospective clients. When considering hiring an attorney, you should not base your decision solely on the advertisements that you see on our website.

Prior case results do not guarantee a similar outcome. The May Firm cannot, and does not, guarantee any particular result in any particular case. You should not assume that you will achieve the same or similar results based on the outcome of previous cases. All case outcomes are determined on a case-by-case basis and there is no way to determine how much one case may be worth based on the results of another case.

In plain English: We provide information about the outcomes of previous cases, including awarded damages, on this website to give you a very general idea of the types of cases we have won and how much we have been able to recover for clients. We are not suggesting that you will recover similar sums. If, for example, you are considering filing a wrongful death claim, you should not assume that you might recover $1.5 million because another wrongful death case resulted in a $1.5 million award. The results of our previous cases cannot be used to predict the outcome of future cases.

Fees and Client Liability for Costs

Attorney fees at The May Firm typically range anywhere from 33.33% to 40% of the total settlement amount and are paid on a contingency basis. These fees are variable based on the specific facts and needs of a case. Fees collected from the settlement also include case and court costs, which will be paid by The May Firm up front on your behalf and will only be reimbursed upon the successful resolution of your case. Specific fee and payment arrangements will be made in writing when representation begins.
