I am working with an attorney in Illinois to help me fight a case against my employer. I have spent weeks interviewing lawyers and fee models where all similar. I selected a lawyer and started with an hourly rate with a demand letter, a few calls another letter and the employer is not wanting to cooperate or talk. We need to take this to court but even on a contingent fee, I need to come up with a significant amount of money that I do not have at this time. My questions are what are other ways to pay for lawyer services in Illinois. For example, can my lawyer place a lien against my property? I have equity on my property but since I do not have a job I cannot get a loan.
I am seeking advice in Illinois on options to offer my lawyer an assurance on their money while we fight this case.
