More on the debate on contingency fees and whether they should be the same from case to case.

Each client's case needs to be treated separately and the percentage fee charged must be related to the risk in that case, after fully informing the client and negotiating on the fee level. That is the ethics issue. I'll put some links up in a reply posting at ethicaEsq later today, in case you or your clients are interested. ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 389 lays all this out clearly and convincingly, interpreting the same ethical rule on fees that exists in Illinois and Missouri.
