Pricing & attorney fees in Milwaukee

Personal injury representation in Milwaukee is almost always handled on a contingency fee — you pay nothing unless your attorney recovers compensation.

Initial consultation: Free
Contingency fee: typically 33⅓% pre-suit, 40% if litigation is filed
Case costs (filing, expert witnesses, medical record retrieval): reimbursed from the settlement
No upfront cost to start your Milwaukee injury claim

Always request a written fee agreement before signing. WI bar rules require fee transparency.

WI statute of limitations

Most WI personal injury claims must be filed within a strict window — often 2 to 3 years from the date of injury. Government and medical-malpractice claims can have shorter deadlines. Speaking with a Milwaukee attorney early preserves your right to recover.

Demand Genie cut our demand drafting time from 6 hours to 18 minutes — and our average settlement went up 22%. — Milwaukee Plaintiff Firm Partner
