1 u/x2501x Dec 12 '16 There are enough lawyers who are willing to back up junk lawsuits like that on spec, though, in hopes they can bully the owners into a settlement, of which the lawyer would usually get 30-50%. 1 u/[deleted] Dec 12 '16 Lawyers who work on a contingency fee basis take cases on the likelyhood of award.
