In what kinds of cases are contingency fees prohibited? Divorce and Criminal.
In Arizona, A.R.S. § 12.341. 01 provides that the prevailing party in a lawsuit may recover its attorney's fees in any action arising out of a contract.
The average contingency rate falls between 20-40%, with most lawyers charging around 33% to 35% of the total amount recovered in a case. The exact percentage can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the stage at which the case is resolved.
“Block billing” is not permitted. Block billing occurs when a timekeeper provides only a total amount of time spent working on multiple tasks, rather than an itemization of the time expended on a specific task.
