It depends on if you are the plaintiff or defendant. Most plaintiff attorneys charge a contigency fee. This means the attorney only gets paid a percentage of any winnings from the case, no out-of-pocket fees. Defense attorneys charge by the hour, and each attorney will bill differently depending on numerous issues.
