D. Md. L.R. 707
Fee Agreements
In any civil case, other than cases governed by the Prison Litigation Reform Act, where
counsel is appointed by the Court to represent a party, counsel may request that the party to
be represented enter into a contingent fee agreement. The agreement shall not require the
payment of attorneys’ fees in an amount greater than 25% of any recovery if the case is
settled, nor greater than 33 3% of any amount awarded after a trial. The agreement may not
require the plaintiff to pay litigation expenses unless such payment is approved by the Court.
In cases where there is a statutory provision for attorneys’ fees, the contingent fee shall be
reduced by any statutory fees.
