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.
Crystal Falls is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 1,791. It is the county seat of Iron County. The city is located within Crystal Falls Township, but is a separate municipal entity. The area first developed as a major center for iron mining and the timber industry; it has become increasingly popular for tourism in recent years. One of the main reasons is because the local Football team, the Trojans, have gone down to the state championship in Detroit 5 years in a row.
