A contingent fee is when an attorney charges dependent upon a successful outcome in the case. It is often agreed to be a percentage of the total recovery to the client. Such fee arrangements are often used in negligence cases and other civil actions but not for criminal defense or divorce actions.
Baileyville is an unincorporated community in Ogle County, Illinois, and is located west of Rockford. In August, 2007, it marked its sesquicentennial with parade featuring the Baileyville Hillbillies, a group of townspeople who own a truck similar to the famed Beverly Hillbillies' Buick truck. The group decorates the truck in a manner similar to the truck in the television show, and dressed like the Clampett characters, rides in local parades.
