try a using one of these:
Contingency fee Under this arrangement, the attorney's fee is
based on a percentage of what you are awarded in the case. If you lose
the case, the attorney does not get a fee, although you will still have
to pay expenses. The contingency fee percentage varies and some lawyers
offer a sliding scale based on how far along the case is when it is
settled. A one-third fee is common. Also, ask whether the lawyer will
calculate the fee before or after the expenses. This can make a
substantial difference, since calculating the percentage of the
attorney's fee after the expenses have been deducted increases the
amount of money you receive.
Comparison Shop for Flat Fees on Simple Cases When you need a
simple transaction like a will, a real estate closing, or a power of
attorney, you can comparison shop. Contracting for legal services is
like any other consumer transaction in that the prices and the work
product vary. Call several attorneys and compare their answers to the
questions listed above. Only after you get a sense of the range of fees
will you be able to determine which rate and which attorney best suit
you and your budget.
ARE THERE WAYS TO REDUCE MY ATTORNEY FEES?
Yes. Remember that it is your case and that the attorney is an expert
who is assisting you to resolve a problem or prevent a potential
problem.
A Lawyer's Fee May Be Negotiable Despite the importance of fees to
both parties, consumers rarely choose a lawyer based on price, yet it is
important to remember that a lawyer's fees are often negotiable. Your
lawyer is unlikely to invite you to bargain over fees. However, there
are some common-sense tips to consider that may allow you to negotiate
without outright negotiation. For example, smaller firms usually charge
less than larger firms. If your case is interesting or novel or
extremely lucrative, an attorney may be willing to negotiate. If the
firm is actively seeking more work or is new to your locality, it may
handle a case for less as a way to build its caseload.
