On contingency fee cases (i.e. accident cases) usually 33.3% of the amount recovered, but that is subject to a sliding scale in some states and in some types of cases such as medical malpractice actions. In collection actions, the percentage is usually lower @ 15-20%. Other work, such as divorces, criminal defense, real estate and business law is typically billed at an hourly rate ($150 - $750.00 an hour) since contingency fees are prohibited in these matters. Hourly fees vary based on geographic location, the lawyer's experience and the type of case.
