Attorney legal fees can be charged the following ways: by the hour, by fixed price, or based upon a percentage of a judgment which is called a contingent fee. Now, in a case of wrongful death or severe injury lawsuit where you or your family are suing, then this would be a candidate for a contingent arrangement.
Attorneys handling home business matters are likely to charge either a fixed price for a fixed amount of work, or an hourly rate. Many attorneys are hesitant to charge a fixed fee for any matter that isn't routine. For example, some attorneys charge a fixed fee to incorporate a company. But, most legal fees are charged by the hour for work on business matters. Examples of this kind of work include negotiating contracts with employees, contractors, and suppliers, drafting written terms of sale for your invoices and purchase orders, or sending letters to people with whom you're having a dispute.
