Many lawyers work on a "No-win, No-fee" basis. It rather depends on the kind of legal action you have in mind, and whether or not the lawyer considers his chances of winning the case are good.
In situations such as this, his fees will be a percentage of the damages awarded, if he wins the case.
Lots of attorneys work on a contingency basis if you’re talking about a lawsuit. Be prepared for them to take 40-50% of whatever you settle for.
they are on television all the time – or you could check the yellow pages
It depends on what type of settlement. If it’s regarding an insurance settlement they will likely take a % of your recovery and that % can vary and it can increase if they file a lawsuit on your behalf. Regardless of the outcome, you will be responsible for any expenses the attorney incurs representing you. The expenses would include any experts they hired on your behalf, cost incurred securing records, etc.
