Criminal Defense
A. No. Lawyers are forbidden to handle family law matters (e.g. divorce, custody, visitation, etc.) on a contingent fee basis. Although we are not dealing with criminal matters in this section, it should be noted that criminal cases cannot be handled on a contingent basis by the attorney either.

Wrongful Termination
You might be able to make a contingency deal with your attorney in some cases that do not involve personal injury, such as wrongful termination, or a contract dispute. Remember, the attorney must believe that your recovery from whatever source is going to cover the time he or she will have to put in on the case, or the attorney will have little interest in the case. Remember, an attorney’s interest in your contingency case is usually proportional to the amount of money he or she can make from it.
Employment Litigation
There are many ways to solve a grievance without resorting to lawyers. If you believe a business has cheated you, you may get help from a consumer protection agency run by your city, county, state, or federal government. Many businesses, stores, and utility companies have their own departments to help resolve consumer complaints. Some communities have an ombudsman, a government official whose job is to mediate and resolve minor landlord/tenant, consumer, or employment issues. Local television and radio stations may have programs to resolve consumer-related disputes.

Personal Injury
A general civil litigation practice serving the areas of family law, divorce, commercial contracts, business litigation, civil appeals, real property transactions and litigation, and personal injury auto accidents.
Medical Malpractice
A. Generally, the lawyer invests his time in a case for a fixed percentage of the recovery at the end of the case, either through settlement or trial. The percentage can vary depending upon the complexity of the case and issues. Normally, an auto accident case would have a lower contingent fee percentage than a case requiring special expertise such as medical malpractice. The client is responsible for out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the client by the attorney. Such out of pocket expenses include filing fees, court reporters, expert witnesses, investigators, deposition transcript costs, long distance telephone, copies, fax, etc. If the attorney advances these costs, then the client will ulitmately have to reimburse the attorney out of the client’s share of the recovery.
Auto Accidents

Estate Planning
No. In fact, lawyers often help clients in matters that have nothing to do with disputes. For example, people might seek their lawyer’s advice on legal aspects of starting a business or engaging in a partnership, when buying or selling a home, or for information and advice on tax matters or estate planning. Some clients receive regular legal checkups that, like medical checkups, are designed to catch problems early or prevent them altogether.

Bankruptcy
Foreclosure
This recently decided case may be the death knell of the Nevada Foreclosure Mediation Program. The Supreme Court decided that a lender which has been found to have participated foreclosure mediation proceedings in bad faith, may initiate a new foreclosure action by filing a new notice of default. Essentially the lender gets as many “do-overs” as it wants until it finally succeeds in retaking possession of the borrower’s home. One must ask, given this finding, why any lender would modify loans when attending a foreclosure mediation? It may be more cost effective for the lender to participate in bad faith, refuse to modify loans, and repeatedly go through the process until the lender finds a friendly mediator who refuses to make a finding of bad faith. Then the lender can proceed to foreclose.
