Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas
If I hire an attorney on a contingency basis lets say 30% plus legal cost and there are 5 defendants and I accept to settle with one of the 5 for say $100,000. If the attorney todate has say 25,000 in costs does he/she distribute the settlement per the contingency agreement now or wait until the rest of the defendance settle or go to trial? There are no other liabilities involved like doctors or hospitals. Thanks

You should check your fee agreement. It should state how fees are distributed.
