If An Attorney Sues And Wins In Civil Court, Approximately What Share Of The Winnings Can They Charge As A Fee?

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

I know one attorney who sues for big bucks and takes away 35% to 45% of what they win in court. Is that standard? Too high? Too low?
This is a small case done on a friendly basis but for some reasonable return for hours spent and expenses incurred. What would be a friendly percent to charge a friend for taking their law suit to court and winning for them?

How do I remove judgments myself without an attorney from the court house after filing bankruptcy?
I filed bankruptcy after having surgery. The judgements are still on my court records. My attorney said he could remove them but it would cost $50.00 for each one. I cant afford to pay $50.00 for each one. What I was wondering is if I could do it myself? If I can, can someone please tell me how. Thank you

My Attorney Abscounded With All The Proceeds From A Court Ordered Settlement. How Do I Get My Money?

Monday, July 6th, 2009

First of all I live in the state of Arizona. The court ordered settlement was for approx. $94,000 I was to receive about $73,000 my attorney the balance of approx $21,000. I endorsed the back of a joint check made out to us both. He was then to forward me a check for the $73,000. He never paid me a cent. Not knowing any better I filed a lien on his property. However I never recovered anything. I even re-filed the lein when it became dated, still I never recovered anything. The attorney knowing all that he knows about legal issues filed a motion with a local judge to have the lein removed and taken from his credit files . Its been years and I have never been paid. Is it too late? Have I been cheated out of my money by a lawyer who is slicker than owl snot. What can I do to this SOB?
