Contingent Fee Agreements
The law firm of Kaup & Shultz, LC, accepts matters on an hourly basis and on a contingent fee basis. The hourly rate
method of payment is easy to understand. However, in a contingent fee case, the law firm does not get paid unless the
client obtains a settlement or a judgment in her favor. The law firm is able to advance the costs of the representation
either before the EEOC or in court, and the client does not have to pay any money up front. If there is a settlement or
judgment in favor the client, then the law firm is reimbursed for its costs.
We understand that many of our clients cannot afford to hire a lawyer on an hourly basis and are happy to take cases on a
contingent fee basis. We try to keep our contingent fee agreement short and easy to understand. We will go through
each provision in the agreement with you. You are free to take the contingent fee agreement home with you so you can
look it over or talk to your spouse about it.

"Sex discrimination in the workplace is simply far too
common. Perhaps the worst form of that discrimination is
sexual harassment. As a husband whose wife works and a
father with a daughter who is about to enter the
professional world, I am committed to helping Kansas
employees understand their legal rights and what actions
they might take when their rights are violated. It would be
a privilege to work with you.
You do have rights. Make them matter."
