An attorney whose fee is paid based on the result is working on a "Contingency" basis. This generally happens only in civil cases like personal injury suits.\nPro Bono means the attorney will not be paid at all and usually only happens in criminal cases where the defendant is indigent.

Usually a third.  However, lawyers are ethically bound to actually earn the money they make.  That means for a really large award, lawyers will not be allowed to take a third.  For a really large award, they may not even get ten percent.

This is what lawyers(pronounced liars) allways do.\n\nThey are all colluding double dealing theives working both of you for as much as they can. Yes your lawyer is working together with the opposing parties counsel to get your money. Worst of all the legal system supports their criminality so don't bother complaining you'll get nowhere, except maybe fleeced out of even more money.\n\nYour best bet would be to drop them, kiss all the money good-bye(your going to loose anyway) and go Pro per (do your own legal) this is your only real chance. But they know you won't do this so they'll end up extortting you for every penny you got.   \n\nConsider this a lesson learned, never hire a lawyer and if you do NEVER give them money in advance! NEVER!\n\nIf you should by chance have a back bone go to http://www.nolo.com for legal self help info and/or e-mail me i'm not a lawyer but i do deal with these matters successfully.

find out if there is an attorney who would accept your case on a contingency fee basis; you don't pay your attorney unless he/she wins the case.  negligence has many different aspects.  check with your state bar association for attorneys who will work on cases like these.

If there are portions of your retainer that have not been used then he is under an obligation to return the funds.  If you are contesting the attorneys' fees in general (maybe you feel that you got inadequate representation) then you should check with your local County Bar Association.  Some counties have mandatory attorney fee arbitration that provide a great and simple way for you to fight the attorneys' fees.  Otherwise, you may wish to speak with a legal malpractice lawyer in your area.  Go to www.martindale.com for a listing of attorneys in your area.

Better check with the lawyer. They will drop the case and if things don't work out you will pay again cuz the lawyers are thieves. They will not let you know!!!!

You going to have to talk to a lawyer on this one. Bring with you a list of all the damage the other lawyer did to you (i.e. stole your money, ruined your reputation, mismanaged funds, poorly prepared your case, etc.). With this list the new lawyer should be able to tell you what your options are. Good luck.

No, however, some attorneys will waive their fee if you don't win.... you don't win, they don't get paid.

Ask a lawyer about what you can do.

It would be hard to deal with without a lawyer.  The simplest thing would be to show the proof, document it, and threaten to sue if they collect from you wrongfully.  If they did so after you had given them proof they likely would be liable for much more than the amount taken.  But if that didn't scare them off, you'd still need a lawyer.  You should also make sure the credit reporting agencies haven't acted on the same bad information, and make sure the collection agency hasn't caused your credit to be affected. Ask your lawyer about that -- the collection agency will have to have that cleaned up.\n\nBy the way, I disagree with a previous poster who wrote "Generally if someone takes you to court for some reason and loses, they are required to pay your legal costs." Unless there is a special reason, in the United States the loser does not pay the legal fees of the winning party. (Costs are technically something different than legal fees, and are much much less than legal fees.)

Clever typo: The more money you got, the better lawyers you can get & thus possibly get a lesser charge in court.  At least that's what it appears like seeing the news & watching Law & Order episodes... (I don't have any personal experience to this).\n\nSome quotes to ponder:\nJustice is incidental to law and order.  ~John Edgar Hoover\n\nWhen you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.  ~Norm Crosby\n\nAlthough the legal and ethical definitions of right are the antithesis of each other, most writers use them as synonyms.  They confuse power with goodness, and mistake law for justice.  ~Charles T. Sprading, Freedom and its Fundamentals\n\nThe more corrupt the republic, the more numerous the laws.  ~Tacitus, Annals

Judge Joe Brown would love for you to give him a call.  LOL, but if not, Small Claims Court is definately the way to go.  It helps if you have documentation that you actually gave them the money (such as a cancelled check).  But the odds are your friend wont show up for court anyway, and you'll just get a default judgement for the $$.  Of course, collecting the $$ after that can be a whole new challenge.
