English to Chinese Law/Patents Law (general)

You should know, however, that your lawyer may still be entitled to a portion of the legal fee for the work performed up to the time of discharge. You should also know that I will probably not take your case unless the accident was recent and/or you have suffered a serious or catastrophic injury. Early investigation and early retention of experts are crucial to the outcome of your case. I simply won’t compromise this notion absent special circumstances.
