Will attorneys take a litigation case on contingency fee basis

If the case can be taken on a contingency basis, the lawyer will have to fee good about the possiblity of recovery compared to the amount of time involved in the case. Our firm does not consider contingency cases where the prospect of recovery is less than $50,000.

The reason for this is that if you take 1/3 of 50,000 the fee would be around $17K. It is very hard to have anytype of litigation and keep the fees below $15000. Generally as the risk goes up the amount of recovery must also increase.

It is important to remember that there are some areas like criminal law and divorce where FL lawyers are not permitted to do work on a contingency. This does not mean that every issue with divorce cannot be taken on contingency. For example the collection of child support or alimony may be taken on contingency while the original case may not.

Assuming your case arises out of some type of accident, it is a certainty that most every attorney would represent you on a contingent fee basis, as that is the standard for such cases. However, if the issue requiring litigation arises out of another type of situation, you will have to discuss the exact facts and possible recovery with which ever attorney with whom you consult.

This depends on the type of case, and the liklihood of a recovery. Litigation is very time intensive. Unless there is an extremely good chance of a recovery that will result in enough to provide for a reasonable contingent fee, most attorneus will not. The types of cases that lend themselves to contingent fees are personal injury, auto accident, medical malpractice, etc.
