Hey, my lunch level is really low, can you fetch me lunch while I wait here?

Some? More likely "most." Interestingly, many countries consider contingency fees to be unethical, since they give the lawyer an interest in the outcome of the case. The lawyer's actions are then influenced by what he will receive out of any amount rewarded, not purely by what is just and fair. I can't see the plaintiffs' bar lobby ever letting it happen, but frivolous lawsuits would disappear overnight if we went to a "loser pays" system like many countries have.

I like contingency fees as it let's the client gauge the lawyer's faith in prevailing in court. Case in point. The HOA I live in kinda won a long, expensive court case against one of the owners. We should have been in second place between the bank's first and third position but somehow the bank got first and second position.
Our lawyer recommend we appeal and it would only cost us $30,000 for a potential $350,000 payout. We said if you're so sure we'll wln, why don't you take it on contingency where you can make over $100,000?
They choked and we said we're done with any more legal action.
