Fee Arrangements
Initial consultations are always provided without charge.

While many firms have rigid fee arrangements, Devagno, Borchert, Levine & Laspina pride themselves on having a progressive attitude towards avoiding what we term as "needless expense to the client".

For the most part personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. That is "no recovery no fee".*

However in many instances the client is given a choice between being charged with a contingent fee, or hourly rate fee.

Our firm has a policy of providing our clients with alternate fee structures such as contingency fee arrangements for routine as well as some complex litigation. Where the fee arrangement is hourly, Devagno, Borchert, Levine & Laspina has a policy of billing in one minute increments, rather than by the quarter-hour increments. This policy provides our client with a more accurate bill and avoids having the client pay for time not used. Furthermore, our firm does not believe in charging our clients for reasonable telephone status reports. It is our job to keep you informed of the status of the case. If you have to call us for routine and reasonable status reports, if it appears on your bill at all, it will appear on your bill as a no-charge item.

*Some personal injury cases may require an initial payment for investigative or experts costs. We reserve the right to refuse to handle some cases (including personal injury cases) on a contingency basis.


Take the time to choose the right firm and you'll see that
Devagno, Borchert, Levine & LaSpina
is going to make the difference for you.
Thank-you
