Deferent lawyer have deferent fee structure and is right to demand his fee in advance. The fee you give to lawyer is not for win or lose the case but for his proffessional services he works on you on your behalf. You cannot put conditions that upon wining the case you will pay only. YOU NEED DO PAY LAWYER FEE HOW THEY ASK, otherwise approach deferent lawyer as per your wish.
