Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New York

Can a false allegation/filing/, false arrest, malicious prosecution case be done on a partial contingency basis, where a client would pay a substantial amount for the retainer and then the remaining balance that the client was resonsible for , would come out of the lawsuit winnings at the end of the lawsuit, at that time. Is this possible, meaning legally ok to do this, if both the client and attorney agree? Thank you
