Attorney Referrals NC

REFERRAL FEES:

Kirk will include a referring attorney on the fee agreement if it is a contingency fee case. Please note that to comply with RPC 205 and Rule 1.5(e), you will need to be part of the reasonable, written fee agreement, the division of fees will be described in the agreement, and 1) your services are in proportion to the split or 2) assume joint responsibility for the representation. Attorney referrals must align with these guidelines to ensure compliance and transparency.

Kirk Sanders and his team will take the lead position. We will keep the referring attorney advised of the progress of the case, maintaining clear communication throughout the process of attorney referrals and case handling.
