## Research questions

### Does California contingency-fee copy establish that an unsuccessful case costs nothing?

The State Bar of California says a contingency fee depends on winning or settling, but court and other costs may still be payable whether the client wins or loses. Suggested offer practice: distinguish attorney compensation from case costs and identify the written agreement's allocation.

### Can a California injury campaign state a contingency percentage without its cost basis?

California's State Bar says the agreement should specify whether the contingency percentage is calculated before or after court fees and other costs. It also says most attorney fees are negotiable rather than fixed by statute. A standalone percentage would omit material agreement conditions.

### Does a California injury consultation establish the scope of retained representation?

The State Bar tells clients to discuss which services a fee covers and obtain that agreement in writing. Its billing guidance separates services, attorney fees and other charges. Suggested measurement: distinguish an inquiry or consultation from a written engagement whose scope has been agreed.

### Can California injury-service copy guarantee a case will finish by a stated date?

The State Bar recommends discussing expected case duration while recognizing unforeseen complications can delay it. Suggested offer practice: describe a lawyer's estimate as an estimate and keep inquiry, engagement and resolution stages separate; this guidance does not establish a client's outcome or completion date.
