What is the name of your state? ca
I don't know where to post this exactly. I had a previous post about a breach of contract..long story short, I hired a lawyer to pursue. She was only a pay-per hour lawyer, but she gave me the option of a contigency basis. Which should I choose? $250 per hour or if I win she wants 40%, if the defendant settles before court she wants a 1/3. She doesn't see there being that much work for this case...but, you never know..those hours add up. If the amount i'm going after is $16,000....do I do per hour or contingent? Any opinions would be great!!! thank you!
