On a contingency basis, yes, in some types of cases.

No, not necessarily. Some cases (medical malpractice and personal injury, primarily) are nearly always taken on a contingency fee basis due to the nature of the case and the time involved. That's standard practice. You can make money on any case where there would be a monetary settlement or verdict; that doesn't mean he's going to accept a contingency fee.

Yes, if it is greater than the fee he would receive by representing you normally. Lawyers love this kind of work, its how they hit big pay days. My boss at the law firm I work at makes a nice living normally, but the contingency cases he takes on are the real money makers.

Of course, that is the point of contingency cases. Serious personal injury cases are usually always taken on contingency if the lawyer is representing the vitim.

As with any business venture, one considers the risk and possible reward. Possibly he would, possibly he wouldn't.
If you're already maxed out on caseload and a class action lawsuit opportunity hits your desk, you have to consider what's going to keep you fed for the years you litigate the thing. You only have so many hours on your clock.
