What is a contingent based fee?

First, a contingency fee agreement will sometimes result in a lawyer being paid more money than if they paid the lawyer by the hour. However, if your lawyer takes the percentage of contingency fees before or after these costs are paid it can make a significant difference in the amount you and your attorney ultimately receive. With a mixed-schedule contingent setup, your lawyer will likely also get a percentage of the recovery in addition to the attorney's hourly rate.
