Menard v. Hyatt

11WOODARD, Judge.

This is a litigation over the costs incurred by an attorney, Mr. Randall L. Menard, a Law Corporation, in the representation and preparation for litigation on behalf of his client, Ms. Wendy Hyatt. The issue is whether a contingency fee agreement (the agreement) prevented Mr. Menard from recovering the expenses which he incurred, concerning his representation of Ms. Hyatt, in the absence of a judgment or settlement. Finding that the agreement clearly and unambiguously provides that Mr. Menard may only recover such costs out of a judgment or settlement, we affirm.
