Why We Exist
Why we think 20% is plenty
Contingency fees in personal injury work have stayed at roughly one-third for decades, even as case management has become more efficient. We believe a 20% attorney’s fee is fair compensation for a successful result — and that the rest belongs to the person who was hurt.
The firms in this directory have agreed in writing to honor a 20% contingency on personal injury matters. (20% refers to the attorney’s fee. Case costs and expenses may apply and are billed separately by the firm you choose.) Whether you need a car accident lawyer, an auto accident lawyer, auto injury lawyer or a vehicle accident attorney for a more complex case — every firm in this directory has agreed in writing to charge 20% pre-suit instead of the industry-standard 33%. A qualified car accident attorney handles insurance negotiations and, if needed, takes your case to court with.
*20isplenty.ai does not disparage other law firms. Many excellent attorneys charge 33% or more based on their business model and the complexity of cases they handle. We simply provide a directory of those who have agreed to a two-tier attorney’s contingency fee (20% pre-suit / 35% if a lawsuit is filed) for cases originated through this platform.

Is 20isplenty.ai a law firm?
No. 20isplenty.ai is a free public directory of independent personal injury law firms that have each agreed to charge a 20% contingency fee. We are not a law firm or lawyer referral service, we do not give legal advice, and we do not represent you. Submitting an inquiry through this site does not create an attorney-client relationship.
