Attorney Referrals

Michael S. Bomstein can help turn a potential problem into an asset. Many good lawyers will decline contingent representation because the potential recovery will not justify their time and expense. Similarly, hourly fees may create a problem for the client no matter how successful the outcome.

Creative outsourcing to Michael S. Bomstein may be your solution. In plaintiff’s representation, my firm has enabled clients to cap fees based on my hourly rates and my willingness to accept a flat retainer against a contingent fee. In defense litigation, I am sometimes able to accept a flat fee for all pretrial services.

Michael S. Bomstein has accepted several new cases from firms that hoped to retain their clients but could not address their short-term needs in a cost effective manner. In these cases, Pinnola and Bomstein has assisted the client while respecting a client’s continuing relationship with the referring firm. I also stand ready to assist members of the bar who need to refer out cases because of potential conflicts.

Out-of-state attorneys have found their clients in good hands at my firm. In recent years, I have successfully represented clients referred by out-of-state counsel in breach of non-compete suits; real estate transactions; a major real estate partnership case; and in quiet title litigation.

Here are some additional examples of matters in which I successfully represented clients sent to me by referral counsel:

• Defended a dentist in a suit brought by her business partner.
• Represented a real estate entrepreneur as defendant in a partnership breakup.
• Defended an out-of-state client against a claim for a real estate commission on a multimillion dollar industrial building;
• Defended owners of a Main Line property in a real estate partition suit;
• Represented a disabled physician against his former practice in an employment discrimination case;
• Represented a well-to-do real estate entrepreneur in a substantial fee dispute against his former partner; and
• Represented a successful physician against his partner in a business dispute.

If your client is a partner or shareholder involved in a breakup, you may wish to refer the matter to me for a free evaluation.

Referral Fees

Michael S. Bomstein pays referral fees, the terms of which are negotiable depending on the individual case. In ordinary contingency matters, with the client’s approval, I pay one-third of the net attorney’s fee. In addition, in some hourly matters I will also pay a referral fee.
