與一老美律師談關於事故索賠的官司,談論後該律師願意免費接案子,成功後從賠償金中分成,不成功則沒有任何費用. 但具體合同的英文文件好像有一些問題. 我沒有學過律師合同知識,請老貓幫助.
5. Contingency Fee to Attorney. Client has been advised by Attorney and is aware that any contingency fee arrangements are not set by law and that a contigency fee between Attorney and Client is negotiable. -------------
~~~~d. Monetary sanctions awarded to Attorney during the course of this litigation shall not be considered part of Client's recovery in this action.~~~ But if the sanctions award includes a cost item (such as the filing fee for making a motion),the amount thereof shall be credited to Client's costs account when received by Attorney. 請問, 這是不是意味著如果得到任何懲罰性賠償,都歸律師所有?
6. Litigation Costs and Expenses. Attorney is authorized to incur reasonable costs and expenses in performing legal services under this Agreement. Client agrees to pay for such costs in addition to the contigency fee discussed in Paragraph 5 above.
Court filing fees; Process serving fees, etc.
~~~b. Client's Responsibility re Costs.
Attorney may advance such costs on Client's behalf but is not obligated to do so. Client agrees to reimburse Attorney upon demand for any such advances. Client is responsible for such reimbursement regardless of the status or outcome of the litigation, or the amount of any recovery. 關鍵, 這是不是說不管官司如何,都要付律師的各種費用? 如果是,這就和口頭協議衝突了.
