Ohio attorneys are prohibited from accepting domestic relations cases on a contingency basis. More over, domestic violence, whether seeking criminal charges or a civil protection order does not generate an award for the victim. Thus for the DV you would not be likely to find an attorney to take the case on contingency. Personal injury is another matter entirely where a contingency fee would be likely. The above does not create as lawyer / client relationship, or may it be taken as legal advice. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.

I don't believe that you will. Contingency fees in divorce or domestic violence cases are, I believe, unethical and at the very least severely frowned upon.
