Directory, Not a Referral Service
20isplenty.ai is a free online directory that connects consumers with independent personal injury law firms that have agreed to a two-tier attorney’s contingency fee: 20% if the case is resolved before a lawsuit is filed, and 35% if a lawsuit must be filed to pursue the recovery. We are not a lawyer referral service and do not receive any portion of attorney fees. We do not evaluate the quality of the legal services provided by participating firms, nor do we rank, recommend, or endorse any firm over another.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Use of this website, including submitting an inquiry form, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and 20isplenty.ai or any participating law firm. An attorney-client relationship is only formed when you sign a formal, written representation agreement with a law firm.
Understanding the Two-Tier Contingency Fee
The “20% is plenty” claim refers to the attorney’s pre-suit contingency fee. The firms in this directory have agreed in writing to the following two-tier fee structure on personal injury matters:
- 20% attorney’s contingency fee if your case is resolved before a lawsuit is filed.
- 35% attorney’s contingency fee if a lawsuit must be filed to pursue your recovery. The higher rate reflects the substantial additional work required to litigate a case in court.
These percentages refer strictly to the attorney’s contingency fee (i.e., the portion of the settlement or verdict the firm retains for their time and services). They do not include case costs and expenses.
In almost all personal injury cases, costs are incurred to pursue the claim, such as court filing fees, expert witness fees, court reporter fees, medical records retrieval costs, and investigator fees. Depending on the specific written agreement you sign with your lawyer, these costs are typically deducted from your portion of the recovery in addition to the attorney’s contingency fee. The decision to file a lawsuit is made by you and your attorney based on the specific facts of your case.
Independent Firms
All law firms listed on 20isplenty.ai are completely independent businesses. 20isplenty.ai is not responsible for their legal advice, the progress of your case, or the final outcome. You should carefully review any fee agreement before signing.
