I am looking for a lawyer who will only charge you if he/she wins the case. Do you know more about it? Are these harder to get? I am looking for a civil rights one? Any suggestions? websites with more info?

If it is a case where you are far out left the ACLU will take it. Good Luck
Answer by Zhedray
Lawyers who work on a contingent fee basis only get paid if you win. Then they usually get 33 1/3% if the case settles (considered a win) and 40% if you go to trial. That may or may not include costs and fees (i.e. court filing fees, copy fees, etc...)
It would really depend on the type of civil rights case and the specific law that has been violated. There are a number of groups inclduing the ACLU that advocate for civil rights and litigate civil rights cases on a pro bono (free) basis.
It does not cost anything to call and ask, so call some attorneys in your area and ask what their fee schedule is...or look on their web-sites.

Why would a lawyer bring a case they wouldn't win?
If you want the lawyer to take the case on a contingency basis you will likely pay a higher fee at the end. It will probably not cost you anything to have a consultation with a lawyer to evaluate the case and decide if they think they should take it or not.
