Attorney fees
We generally handle accepted matters on contingency. The agreement sets the fee and the terms that apply to your representation.
What needs fixing. What it should cost. What you can pursue.
Tell us about the damage, disputed repair or insurance payment. You do not need a complete file to get started.

Fees & costs
Pursuing payment.
Understanding the expenses.
Before representation begins, the written agreement explains attorney fees, the expenses advanced, and how reimbursement is handled—including if there is no recovery.
Litigation & investigation expenses
We advance litigation costs, including agreed expert and investigation expenses. These are the costs of developing and pursuing the claim.
The building’s repair costs
The money needed to perform construction repairs is separate. Advancing claim expenses does not mean Northwest finances the building work or guarantees full repair funding.
Clear decisions. Less burden.

And we really work on kind of handling all the technical complexity, in the background. So, again, people choose, and our clients tend to choose Northwest Construction and Insurance Law because of our unique approach, but we really, we try not to overload our clients with exactly what we're doing each second, but rather give them the information that they need to make a good decision for their property. And that's really, we find that to be really important because we got to reduce the cognitive load for our clients, that they can make well informed decisions.
What happens after you inquire
01
Initial review
The team checks the people involved, the kind of dispute, the amount at stake, and any time pressure.
02
Further information, if needed
If closer review is appropriate, the firm may request selected photos, estimates, reports, policies, or correspondence and explain how to provide them.
03
A decision about the next step
The next step may be a conversation about representation, a narrower review, a referral, or an explanation that the matter is not a fit. A written agreement is required before representation begins.
Preparing your records
Keep your photos, reports, estimates, correspondence, and timeline together. Start with a summary here; documents are optional and can be provided later. If the firm has requested selected documents, you can attach them in Step 2. Do not send privileged or highly sensitive material unless requested.
