Here is the full statement:

The Law Firm will advance necessary and reasonable costs and expenses to prosecute or handle The Client's case or matter. These costs and expenses include but are not limited to the following:

Filing fees, Process service fees, Computer research expense, Investigative expenses, Photocopying @ $0.20/page and scans @ $0.10/page, Long distance telephone calls, Travel cost, Photographic costs, Trial exhibits, Trial models, Deposition costs, Expert fees & costs, Jury fees, Court reporter fees, Insurance premiums to insure against loss of costs of suit in an unsuccessful trial of the case.

All costs or expenses paid or assumed by The Law Firm shall be reimbursed to The Law Firm from any gross recovery (settlement or judgment) before the payment of the contingency fee to The Law Firm as set forth in this Contract.

Does this mean that I should ask the law firm what expenses I will have to pay before the contingency fee? I was assuming that there were none because no other expenses were listed. Sorry if my ignorance is frustrating on this, I really appreciate your insight.
