You want money now???

Many lawyers advertise free consultations and contingency fees. A contingency fee agreement that states that an attorney won't be paid unless the attorney recovers money from the opposing party. Contingency fee agreements are generally only used in personal injury cases, like medical malpractice or car accidents. In fact, family law and divorce attorneys cannot use contingency fee contracts. You will be required to make some kind of payment in advance for the services of a divorce or family law attorney and you should expect to pay a consultation fee as well.
