Attorney fees are not set by law and thus each attorney and client reaches their own particular fee arrangement. (An attorney might handle a contingency case for 33% after medical bills, or 40% before medical bills or any other arrangement the parties agree to within the realm of reasonable fees). You are strongly encouraged to discuss attorney fees before signing a representation agreement - every attorney should clearly explain their fees and how they are calculated.
