   If an attorney agrees to take a civil case without charging his client hourly rates, he is working on a contingency contract. That means that no one gets any money until the defendant actually pays. Most contracts allow the attorney to take a third of the total; some cases are so complex, expensive, and/or risky that the percentage can be higher.
