Unfortunately, that simply isn't how retaining a lawyer works. Even if it were permissible for a lawyer to take 80% of the damages, that presumes that a mount would equal the value of the legal services, which is questionable given the cost of most garage door projects. To be candid, in many instances, its actually less expensive for the consumer to hire a lawyer on paid retainer or fee than it is to have the lawyer take the common 40% + costs for litigation, if the cost of the project was substantial, $20,000.00+. Bear in mind that lawyers do not litigate from a position of anger or frusration with the contractor, so they typically have little interesting in prosecuting claims with an emotional motivator or where the client's motivation is to "go after" someone.. Your best bet is to retain a local construction or consumer lawyer and have them review the situation and your contract for options.
