Question

attorney fees can be claimed based on the amount

Answer 1

Based on the question provided, the most reasonable answer I can provide is that attorney fees are charged based on various methods

One of the methods is Contingency Fees which is most closely related to the statement "attorney fees can be claimed based on the amount" . In this method under an arrangement, if the attorney wins the case for the client, the attorney will take a percentage of the amount won, but if the attorney is not successful, the client pays nothing. the percentage that the attorney receives depends on what stage the case is settled. Contingency fees are only utilized where there is a dispute, otherwise there would be no objective way to determine whether the attorney had been successful

Other Methods are

1) Hourly Rate Fees

Under an hourly rate agreement, the attorney gets paid a set hourly rate for their work. Hourly rates have traditionally been the most common legal fee arrangement.

2) Flat Rate Fees

Flat rate fees are when an attorney charges a flat rate for a set legal task. The fee is the same regardless of the number of hours spent or the outcome of the case. Attorneys are more willing to offer flat rates on well-defined tasks like basic contracts, uncontested divorce, and forming business entities. Flat rate fees are usually not an option for lawsuits and other more complex tasks that can quickly expand in scope.  It is too risky for the attorney who could end up doing $10,000 worth of work for $1,000.
