What types of lawyers make the most money?

Do lawyers make money by helping patients reduce their medical debts? If so, how do they charge?

• What types of lawyers engage in this type of service?

• Answer:

  A skilled person - regardless of their vocation or industry - will always make money. In this particular case, where there are medical costs involved, it can either be a negotiated rate (such as one-time retainer until the case is closed) or an ongoing hourly rate. In either case, the patient is facing a real possibility of paying the full amount owed for medical care, and even if the legal representative charges for services but is able to reduce the bill by a substantial amount (effectively saving more than the cost of representation), this would be worth it. The price that's paid is for expertise, experience, and knowledge of the legal system (and the negotiation process). People are always encouraged to check whether they will be able to do it on their own before retaining a lawyer, so not to incur unnecessary costs.
