It can vary dramatically from state to state, lawyer to lawyer, matter to matter, and client to client. For example, if you want to retain lawyers who will put forth as strong a case for you as the “dream team” put on in defense of OJ Simpson, you are talking millions of dollars, paid up front.
On the other hand, if you are injured in a serious accident and it appears that someone else is primarily at fault, such as the driver of the car in which you were a passenger, or the driver of the other car, or the auto manufacturer, you can have a highly experienced lawyer handle your case on a contingency fee basis, without you paying anything up front, and the lawyer’s fee coming only from only the recovery s/he obtains for you.
