Lawyers often work on a contingency fee when they handle personal injury cases, employment discrimination and harassment cases, and other cases that may lead to a substantial settlement or verdict. If you are pursuing one of these cases, you should be able to easily find a lawyer with this type of fee structure. You can get referrals from friends and family members, consult the state bar and online referral networks, or simply search online for a lawyer in your area. When you meet an attorney who will be handling your case on a contingency fee, you should ask them about the value of your case, your probability of success, and the percentage that will constitute their fee. Be aware that you will receive only general estimates regarding the value of your case and its prospects, since a lawyer cannot promise specific outcomes.
