Short Answer:
In Colorado, attorney contingency fees mean you pay nothing upfront, and the lawyer only gets paid if you win your case. The fee is a percentage of your recovery—typically around 33% to 40%—and is agreed upon in writing before representation begins.
Example:
If your case settles for $90,000 and your attorney’s fee is 33%, the lawyer receives about $30,000, and you keep the remaining amount (minus any case costs or liens).
