I think you meant to say more than s/he charges (as opposed to earning) and the short answer is yes. I think we may digressing into the whole behavior science and best ways to incentivize employees/contractors/people and that would be outside the scope of this question but here is the short...
Thanks again, @LdiJ, @adjusterjack, and @Taxing Matters for the thoughtful responses. Apologies, didn't notice responses from LDIJ and AdjusterJack until now. I realize developing a contract that would account for the issues I raised could be complex and difficult. If an attorney is fronting the...
Thanks again for the response, this is really helpful and appreciate it. I have to do additional homework to be able to frame a contract that I think would be fair and propose to the lawyer I spoke to. The lawyer is great himself as a person and totally open to work on a contract with me. But...

Again, I really appreciate but I think you are totally missing the point of this question (from the begining). Please let others answer.
P.S. Just as further explanation - this is not about what reasonable. It's about what's necessary and in the best interest of the client. For example...
Again, thank you but that's not the question (again). Yes, attorneys will be drafting the contract but I have input and have a question about best practices. Hopefully someone who has experience in this can answer. Respectfully.
I understand nobody can draft a specific contract but this was more general question about best ways to frame the cost provision - this is something fairly generalizable and folks working in this space probably have encountered similar dilemma and possibly found a solution. So, perhaps someone...
Georgia - Had an accident where things are generally straightforward but still need a lawyer to help with the process. I was proposed a contract that seems essentially unbalanced and unfair. Please advise if there is a better way to structure this type contract. Two parts of the contract are...
