FAQ

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.

The Most Common Cases that Do Not Operate on Contingency Fees Criminal defense cases. Divorce attorneys. Family law attorneys. Domestic relations cases. Business-related cases. Contracts and closings.

Contingent fees create an undue emphasis on the extent of the plaintiff's damages, and they encourage the filing and prosecution of cases with large damages but little negligence. Take the case of parents who come to the attorney's office with a brain-damaged child requiring custodial care.
