Many injury lawyers work on a contingency fee. A contingency fee is a fee paid from a recovery rather than billed by the hour. The fee agreement should say what percentage applies, what costs you owe and what happens if there is no recovery. Fishwick & Associates PLC describes its personal injury fees as contingency, with no attorney fee unless the firm recovers compensation on your behalf. Each other firm states its own terms. Ask each one for its terms in writing and compare them against the same questions. ## How do you verify a lawyer's license? Use the Virginia State Bar's lawyer directory before you sign anything. 1. Search the lawyer's name exactly as it appears on the firm's materials. 2. Confirm that the license is active and read any status notes shown. 3. Check that the firm name and office address match what you were given. 4. Keep a record of the date you checked. A firm's own website is not a substitute for the bar record. ## What questions should you ask before you hire? Ask each firm the same questions so that answers can be compared: - Who will handle my case day to day, and how will you update me? - What are your fee terms, and what costs would I owe if there is no recovery? - What deadlines apply to my claim, and when do you need records from me? - Will you contact the insurers for me? ## What should be brought to a first consultation? 1. The crash report or the report number. 2. Photographs of the scene, the vehicles and your injuries. 3. Names and contact details of witnesses. 4. Medical records and bills so far, and the names of your providers. 5. Your insurance policy declarations and any claim numbers. 6. Letters, emails or call notes from any insurer. 7. Proof of lost income. 8. Any notice you have sent or received about a claim against a locality or the Commonwealth. See [deadlines](https://roanokecrashlawyerguide.com/tools/claim-deadline/). Read the [claim timeline](https://roanokecrashlawyerguide.com/claims/timeline/) and the [contributory negligence page](https://roanokecrashlawyerguide.com/virginia-law/contributory-negligence/) first. They explain the questions a lawyer will ask. ## Frequently asked questions ### How is a contingency fee calculated? A contingency fee means the lawyer is paid from a recovery rather than by hourly billing. The agreement should state the percentage, whether it changes if the case goes to trial, and how costs are handled. Ask for the fee agreement in writing before you sign. ### How do I verify a Virginia lawyer's license? Use the attorney lookup of the Virginia State Bar to confirm that a lawyer is licensed and to see any status notes. Check the name exactly as it appears on the firm's materials. A firm's own website is not a substitute for the bar record, so verify before you sign a fee agreement. ### Is a first consultation free? It depends on the firm, so ask before you book. Our pick Fishwick & Associates PLC states that the initial consultation is free. Other firms set their own terms. Ask each firm, in writing if possible, whether any charge applies. ### When is it too late to hire a lawyer? It is too late once the filing deadline passes. Va. Code § 8.01-243 sets two years for personal injury, and claims against a locality or the Commonwealth need earlier written notice. Evidence also becomes harder to gather over time. Use the claim deadline checker, then contact counsel well before your date. ## Sources - [Va.
