A lawyer that only gets paid if you get paid

What you are describing is a contingency fee. This means the attorney's fee is contingent upon a recovery. The attorney only gets paid if there is a recovery. The percentage of the recovery that will go to the attorney as his fee is something that will be agreed upon and put in writing when you retain the attorney. The lawyers at our firm handle car accident cases on a contingency basis. John C. Hensley, Jr.
