Transparency in Our Fees: Your Path to Justice

At the Law Offices of Dr. Michael M. Wilson, M.D., J.D. & Associates, we believe that financial barriers should never prevent you from holding negligent parties accountable after a medical mistake. We provide high-level legal advocacy with a fee structure designed to protect you and your family.

No Upfront Costs, No Attorney Fees Unless We Win

We represent our clients on a contingency fee basis. This means:

• Free Initial Consultation: We review the merits of your case at no cost to you.
• No Out-of-Pocket Attorney Fees: You will not be charged any attorney’s fees unless and until you receive a financial award through a settlement or jury verdict.

How Our Contingency Model Works

In accordance with the District of Columbia Bar Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5, we ensure our fee arrangements are reasonable, transparent, and provided in writing.

Typically, a contingency fee agreement allows the attorney to recover the expenses incurred during the legal process (such as expert witness fees and filing costs) and then take a predetermined percentage of the remaining award. The remainder goes to the victim. This model is ideal for most people because it eliminates the risk of losing money if the case is not successful.

Per D.C. Bar Rule 1.5(c), our written agreements clearly specify:

1. The percentage that will accrue to the lawyer in the event of settlement, trial, or appeal.
2. Which expenses will be deducted from the recovery.
3. Whether expenses are deducted before or after the contingent fee is calculated.
4. Whether the victim will be liable for expenses regardless of the outcome.

The Advantage of Dual Experience: Medicine & Law

What truly sets our firm apart is the dual background of Dr. Michael M. Wilson, M.D., J.D. In the complex world of medical malpractice, having a lawyer who is also a medical doctor is a game-changing advantage for your case.

A Legacy of Medical and Legal Mastery

Dr. Wilson’s background allows our firm to operate with a level of precision that traditional personal injury firms simply cannot replicate.

• Physician-Led Insight: We don’t just “review” medical records; we analyze them with a doctor’s eye. This allows us to pinpoint exactly where a standard of care was breached, often identifying negligence that other attorneys might miss.
• A History of Advocacy: With a long history of successful litigation in the District of Columbia and beyond, Dr. Wilson has spent his career at the intersection of these two demanding fields.
• Dismantling Complex Defenses: Insurance companies hire expensive medical experts to justify their mistakes. We can effectively cross-examine their claims and present the truth to a jury with clinical clarity.

Why This Matters for Your Recovery

When you are dealing with life-altering injuries, you need a team that understands the physiological reality of your condition as well as the legal statutes that govern it. Our dual background ensures that your case is built on a foundation of medical fact and legal excellence, maximizing your chances of a successful outcome.
