What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi - My band would like to hire a lawyer on a % of income basis. I've read online that the standard is 5-10% with these types of arrangements, but the lawyer that I'm currently talking to is asking for 12% (started at 15%). I think anything above 5% should have a cap. What is the norm in these situations? I want to ensure we work out an arrangement that's fair for both parties.
Any insight you have would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
