I would like to hire an attorney but am having trouble understanding what reasonable fees should be.....Retainer?Flat Fee?% of Amount Won?

While discrimination cases are done on contingency typically, a breach of contract case would be on a fee, usually hourly, as a flat fee is hard to set in a contested litigation.

Attorneys have great latitude to charge what they wish for representing clients in legal matters. The fee may be hourly, flat, contingent or a combination, and will be based on the number of years of experience of the attorney, the geographical location and other factors. Keep shopping around and you'll get a sense of what a fair legal fee arrangement is for your type of legal matter.
