Coste de un abogado: tarifa por hora frente a honorarios contingentes

Frank Kearney fue invitado a un programa de televisión local para hablar sobre el trabajo de nuestro bufete con familias de niños con necesidades especiales y nuestro enfoque de los casos de negligencia médica. Él explica cómo funcionan los casos de negligencia médica, desde cómo se investiga un caso hasta los beneficios de un caso exitoso, y todo lo demás.

Aquí hay un clip del Sr. Kearney explicando el costo de contratar a un abogado con experiencia en negligencia médica. Muchas personas no se dan cuenta de que no cuesta más contratar a un abogado con experiencia, certificado por la Junta con un historial de casos exitosos de negligencia médica que contratar a un abogado recién salido de la escuela de leyes.

Frank Kearney, Esq:

"La mayoría de las familias con las que trabajamos no pueden permitirse los servicios de un abogado que facture por horas y hay razones muy diversas para ello. Como abogado de justicia civil, lo que hago, mi bufete y yo, es trabajar con honorarios contingentes, lo que significa que es un porcentaje de cualquier veredicto o indemnización total una vez finalizado el caso. Y estos casos pueden durar varios años y muchas veces lo hacen.

También nos hacemos cargo de todos los costes y gastos asociados al caso. Por ejemplo, cuando ha habido una violación de una norma de seguridad del paciente por parte de una HMO o un hospital, se necesita una investigación muy exhaustiva. Necesitamos expertos y médicos, principalmente de todas las especialidades, que revisen el caso, el historial y trabajen con usted. Obviamente, todo eso cuesta dinero incluso antes de presentar el caso o cuando todavía lo estás investigando. Así que no exigimos a nuestras familias que se hagan cargo de esos costes al principio porque, de nuevo, si tienes un hijo con necesidades especiales o si estás lidiando con una muerte en la familia debida a un error médico, ya sabes, es una ocupación 24/7. No puedes estar preocupado por tu hijo. No puedes preocuparte de que tu abogado te llame y te diga: "Tienes que pagarme esto este mes o esto la semana que viene, necesito esto o aquello".

No creemos que sea la mejor manera de ayudar a las familias". Si te lo perdiste, aquí tienes un enlace de YouTube para ver la entrevista completa del Sr. Kearney.

Communication is key

March 12, 2026

I had a great experience working with Donahoe Kearney. Frank, Paul, and Grace did an excellent job helping me reach a settlement and made the whole process much easier to deal with.

I worked with Paul a lot throughout the case, and he was always professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. What I appreciated most was how he kept everything short, clear, and straight to the point. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand and kept me informed every step of the way.

Thanks to his hard work and guidance, we were able to reach a good settlement. I would definitely recommend Frank and Paul to anyone looking for a lawyer. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and truly work for their clients. Make sure you read the awesome newsletters they are great! Thank you!
