Date: November 17th, 2016 4:41 PM Author: Vivacious green philosopher-king you're paid out of the settlement or verdict money you win for your client, typically 1/3 of the total amount depending on how much work you spend on a case, this can be extremely lucrative it can take a while to build up this kind of practice, and you're not going to get paid right away, so doing stuff like DUIs where the client pays you up front can supplement things crim law in general is like this |

Date: November 17th, 2016 4:44 PM Author: titillating white codepig all of my PI friends who went solo have to do random work (crim, collections, landlord tenant, etc) to "keep the lights on" while they do their contingency work.

Date: November 17th, 2016 4:43 PM Author: Vivacious green philosopher-king depends on the practice area and where you live i would probably never want to just start a solo contingency practice from scratch the cr path to me seems to be work at a really good Pl firm---> break off into your own firm |
