More details to this question:
If my odds of winning were only 50/50, then 3 time standard hourly rate is a good gamble for the attorney.

Not likely, and who said 50/50 were the odds? Such cases are VERY expensive, time consuming and hotly contetsted. YOU also might not be happy with 3x hourly rate if the the legal fees were $75,000.00 and you recovered $50,000.00, since you would get ZERO money, even if you got all you asked for.
