So you are willing to let the attorney have 35% to 70% of your award.

Find one that works on a paid fee basis. You keep the money. But you will probably not be able to find one that is not out for himself.

I've never heard of a contingency of more than 40%...If you pay a flat fee, what is the incentive for the lawyer to get all he can for you? If he's in on the cut he has a real incentive to get the client as much as possible. Make sense?
