Contingent of getting his license back? I'm not an attorney but common sense says no. But there are bells ringing in my head that tell me anybody can receive contingency fees for just about anything. Hmmm. Here's my answer. Yes an attorney can be paid for contingency fees. You didn't ask if it were legal or not. =)\n---------\nI looked around a bit just out of curiosity. Here's a link stating a suspended Attorney can receive fees for work done prior to the suspension. But that's Nebraska law.\n"The compensation paid to a suspended attorney may include contingency fees earned by the suspended attorney prior to the suspension. "

You need an attorney.

I have never seen an expungment done w/o an attorney. Call the courthouse and ask them. (You might want to call around for price quotes just in case.)

Generally speaking an attorney is required to have you sign a retainer agreement.  If the attorney refuses to return you the money less the time he has billed you should look into the requirements in your State or Country.  I believe the attorney would have had to have told you that it was a flat rate in writing, but I might be wrong.

it is called settling out of court  & the hospital will pay you a certain amount of money. Your attorney should be able to explain it to you.

You are in a bind.  If, when, you let the attorney know that you have such a recording, then he or she will be less happy to represent you properly.  On the other hand, when the attorney demands more fees and payments, and you do not come through or balk at paying these, then the attorney can be less than stellar in representing your best interests.  Either way, it is difficult.  No matter, it is common practice that either you pay a flat fee or charges as they happen (like by the hour).  Either way, if the attorney has outside expenses, those are passed along to the client.  This would be true especially for a mediator.

It will probably cost you plenty, a lawyer should be able to negotiate a good deal for you. Don't wait until Friday to call a lawyer, call today.

Is this for your attorney, or for court ordered payments to the other parties attorney?  If it's your attorney then there is no specfic letter.  Just type up a letter listing the charges in dispute and why you think they shouldn't be billed.  If it's a court ordered payment for the other parties attorney then you need your attorney to type up a motion/order for the court to consider if the charges are valid.  \n\nAlso remember they get to bill for ANYTHING they do.  This can be talking with you on the phone, looking up a court case, typing a letter, etc.

As long as you have the money to pay them, you will have no trouble finding an Attorney to look after your needs.  If you don't have the cash to pay them up front, all is not lost.  If an Attorney is convinced that your case is worthy on its' merits, and there is a high likelyhood of a big payout in the end, an Attorney may agree to take your case(s) on a contingency basis.  In that situation, your Attorney will take his or her cut of the "pot at the end of the rainbow".

I do a significant amount of debt collection work in California.  There are only two ways for an attorney to put a lien on your fees:  (1) you voluntarily grant the lien, usually in the form of a deed of trust; or (2) the attorney sues you and then files a judgment lien (called can abstract of judgment) against you home.\n\nBefore a California attorney can sue you for unpaid fees, he/she must offer you fee arbitration.  If the attorney sues you, the attorney have have you served with the lawsuit papers and you will have the opportunity to defend yourself.

Try these.  The first has disbarred attorneys and the second is for the New York list of attorneys--disbarred ones either won't be there or it will say so.

It is part of the job for which you hired the attorney who got you the judgment in the first place.\nHis job is not over until he collects the money for you. If he had a contingent fee, he doesn't even get paid until he collects the money.

I had attorney friend who offered to do my divorce for $250 for the both of us, but then husband would not meet with her.  If both parties can agree on division of property, etc., attorney will represent both of you much cheaper than "fighting" in court.

Yes, it is illegal. I have worked for 2 attorneys and know a few personally. I tried doing it before and was told that it is illegal to do it, because you are suppose to be paid for your time, whether or not I wanted to do it without pay or not. I had no choice.

It will be easier if you do but if you can't afford one contact the BAR association and ask if they can recommend an attorney who will work pro bono (for free) or at a reduced rate.

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.
