[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I was wondering if there would be a contingency if a private school is approved then the parents would pay the attorney a set fee. It is MCPS.[/quote] You are not going to find a decent attorney willing to do this. Contingency fee arrangements work b/c there is a promise of a big payday at the end. If there is no big pot of money at the end of a case, then attorneys charge a flat fee or an hourly rate. You are asking the attorney to shoulder all the risk of loss when she/he should be paid for work regardless.[/quote] Right. If the most the lawyer can hope for is to simply get paid her usual fees for her work, why would she take on the case? What would happen in your scenario if you don't prevail- the lawyer doesn't get paid? That doesn't exactly seem compelling for any potential lawyer, does it? [/quote]
