How does attorney fees work for non criminal matters?
Q. I asked this question in a different way, and I neglected to explain that it's not a law suit case, so 'contingency' is probably not an option. My question is: If a potential client doesn't have the entire retainers fee up front for an attorney, is there a way that an attorney can start representing the client with some sort of a guarantee that he/she will be paid? Is there a form of written agreement that can be drawn up between the attorney and the potential client?
Asked by Reflexions P - Sat Oct 10 15:33:53 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. An attorney is free to draw up a contract that allows for a certain amount down and certain amounts to be paid at various intervals. Some attorneys will do this with certain types of matters. It is virtually never done in bankruptcy cases and it is reluctantly done in cases involving the courts as there is no guarantee that the attorney will be allowed to exit the case should the client not pay.

How quickly do attorney fees accrue on a property that has gone into foreclosure?
Q. I am working on a property that is in foreclosure in WA state. It is 2 months into the process, $11,500 in back payments and taxes and a few thousand in attorney fees for the mortgage holder's attorneys. Is there a ballpark estimate of how much attorney fees will be once the 135 days is up and it goes to sale, and is there any formula for calculating the rate of their charges?
Asked by alison a - Tue Sep 4 12:58:53 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. HUD prescribes the attorney fees for a foreclosure. Even if the property is not a HUD property, most foreclosure attorneys bill by HUD guidelines. In NJ where I was involved in foreclosures, atty. fees were $1,200.00 per file. That does not take into account expenses, which can be many times that amount. There is title work, securing the property, taxes, accrued interest etc. which can add significantly to the mortgaged amount. For the specific amount in your case, just look at another judgment from the attorney involved in your foreclosure. They usually bill the same fee on all files if they work in volume. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Where can I find an attorney that specializes in indigent criminal defense?
Q. I have a friend who is being wrongly accused of something he hasn't done, and is currently incarcerated behind it. The court appointted attorney that he has, does not have his best interest in mind. The attorney met with my friend once in the last 3 or 4 months and when my friend's family inquire about the case the attorney gives them the run around. My friend and his family can't afford an attorney, so they have pretty much given up hope of him ever coming home. So if there is anyone who knows anyone willing to help my friend, please let me know. Any info or help would be grately appreciated.

A. There aren't criminal attorneys that will take a pro-bono case when there are public defenders to do it. It isn't that the court appointed doesn't have your friend's interest in mind, it is that he has 100 or more other cases, and has to deal with them on the days they come up in court. There is nothing going on with your friend's case - the family will have to wait until the court dates, like everyone else who can't afford an attorney that can hold their hand. If he truly is innocent - it will come out in trial. Harsh reality,and I'm sorry to have to tell you it. Your friend is going to have to reevaluate his life and his friends so that when he does get out, he stays away from the life that has led him to be in the position he is… [cont.]

A. Contact the Bar Association in your city and ask for a referral to a libel lawyer. "Internet defamation" is pretty highly specialized, it's not likely you'll find a lawyer who specializes strictly in internet-based cases, but a good libel attorney in general should be able to help you. If you don't know if there is a Bar Association in your area, start with the American Bar Association at

Here is an easy way to explain it: You wouldn't go into work every day if your boss suddenly quit paying you, would you? No- you would only go in and do work when you were being paid for it.

How much does a first year Attorney Recruiter make?
Q. Hi all! This is my first question so be gentle;-) I am considering taking an attorney recruiter position with a legal staffing company and I was wondering if anyone had any idea what an "average" first year recruiter can expect to make in a large urban area. The compensation involves a draw against future commission, 45% of placement fee. Knowing what I know about attorney compensation where I live it seems that I wouldn't have to do all that many placements to exceed six figures so there must be a catch here.
Asked by BG2008 - Sun Nov 16 21:17:14 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I don't doubt that compensation could potentially reach six figures, but you're right that there's a catch. We're looking at 50-60 hour weeks on average and a lot of cold calling and interviewing. You will also have to deal with constant rejection and slighting on the part of some candidates. This is definitely a job for the thick-skinned.

If its unethical, dont do it. The bar rules also give us the responsibility of reporting unethical activity. So basically, once you decide whether its unethical, you are suppossed to them report him.

Asked by ksmith517 - Wed Apr 2 21:00:34 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You may do anything that your father would have done. If challenged in court as a conflict of interest, you have to provide the court a reasonable explanation of your actions. If there are any family members or creditors who might contest your action, your action could leave the estate in litigation. This is the primary area of risk. Quit claim also does not clear title if it was previously clouded. An action like having the home sold for taxes and bought back by family does clear title, but it can take a lot of time.

Of course, since he still has the old paperwork, you would need to contact any financial institutions where her information is held to let them know of the change.
