Don’t let money stand in the way of receiving legal help after your accident. If you are wondering “what if I can’t afford a lawyer ,” we can set your mind at ease: You don’t need money to hire a personal injury attorney . At Craig Swapp & Associates, we work on a contingency agreement basis.
An Investment in You
When you hire a personal injury attorney on a contingency fee basis, the law firm is agreeing to represent you without collecting any money up front.
At Craig Swapp & Associates, this means that while your case is either in negotiations or at trial , we pay the attorney’s salary, the cost of our support staff, any filing fees, the cost of completing the investigation, any court fees, and more—all on your behalf. This can be expensive and represents an investment in your case on behalf of our firm.
In exchange for our hard work and financial investment in your case, you will need to sign a contingency fee agreement.
How Contingency Fee Agreements Work
This agreement will list the information for both parties: you and our law firm. It will also specify the case being worked on. The contingency agreement will list the fees that we are willing to pay and if you will be required to contribute anything toward them.
Finally, it will specify the compensation that we will receive in exchange for this work after your case settles. Typically, this is a percentage of your total financial award . These funds will be paid to our firm once your case has come to a successful conclusion, whether through trial or negotiation.
If You Don’t Win, You Don’t Pay
If your case does not settle or no financial award is given, we do not receive any compensation. As a result, we encourage clients to assist wherever possible by being available to answer questions; produce evidence, receipts, and any other pertinent information they may have; and appear for all negotiation settlements, depositions, and court dates.

Client Reviews
“I was concerned with all the paperwork”
Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"
My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"
I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"
I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"
My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
