The typical personal injury lawyer will charge a contingency fee to handle your case. Some state statutes limit the percentage that a lawyer can take as a contingency fee. Most contingency fees are between 33 and 40% , but you can always try to negotiate a reduced or alternative agreement.
For example, say your lawyer takes 5 minutes writing an email to you. The lawyer who charges $200 an hour in 15-minute increments would charge you $50 for that time, while a lawyer who charges the same but in 6-minute increments would only charge you $20. Criminal lawyers sometimes prefer to charge a flat fee because they can ask for the money to be paid up front.
