How do I find a lawyer who will take a percentage of the winnings? -

I want to file a law suit on an old employer for wrongful termination, lost wages, defamation of character, mental anguish, and psychological trauma. Due to being unable to obtain employment, I don t have the finances to obtain representation in the normal means, and am hopping to get assistance for a percentage of the legal winnings. Does anyone know how to find this type of representation? I have never been involved with the legal system, and don t even know where to start. Thank you, Alenasdaddy

There usually busy chasing ambulances. No not really, I would just get out the phone book and start calling most will give you a free consultation just sit down with as many as you can and Im sure you will find one.

Percentage of winnings on a wrongful term suit? You d better start with legal aid or the local law school. There isn t much of a contingency there to hope for.

You find a personal injury lawyer, but you also probably need to file with your state department of labor for the lost wages. Look in the phone for someone who specializes in employment-related cases. IF they take the case, they usually get 35-40% of any award, but they don t get anything if you get nothing.

You want an attorney who will take your case on a contingency basis. Normally that s only personal injury lawyers, not a civil suit for what you re looking at. Call a few firms and explain what you re looking for and see if they will or know someone who will. You re asking the attorney to work for free and pay the costs of filing and doing the action in the hope of a win, don t be too disappointed when you don t find anyone willing to take that risk, they have to eat, too.
