Civil litigator Joshua Winnick addresses an issue the plaintiffs bar has battled for years: tort reform. Winnick recently ran a television advertisement offering to represent car accident victims in exchange for a 15 percent contingency fee, which is more than 50 percent less than the traditional 33 percent contingent fee. Through the controversial advertising campaign, Winnick says he hopes to reform the tort system in the marketplace, without the need for legislation.

I recently ran a television advertisement offering to represent car accident victims in exchange for a 15 percent contingency fee, which is more than 50 percent less than the traditional 33 percent contingent fee.
Most plaintiffs lawyers whose views on my fee have come to my attention are against it, presumably because they are against lawyers being paid less money for the work they do.
