Have no idea what an atty's contract looks like. Do they not have "billable hours" like CPAs?

Anyone?

Does a contingency arrangement count if you separate before a court settlement?

This would have been a contract particular to what was anticipated. I write ALL mine on an individual basis and none of them are identical because the work is never identical. There's always a contingency factor to cover the unexpected and I've never had one that didn't hold up.

Car accidents are usually 1/3 of gross settlement. Real Estate is set fee or a percentage.
