Almost every attorney will take 33% (1/3) of the total recovery or settlement. However, it is unclear whether other costs (such as hiring an expert witness, doing investigations, etc.) are INCLUDED in this fee or are ON TOP of the 1/3 fee. Look into that when you meet with the attorney. Also, look for a "Martindale-Hubbell Rating" of AV, which is the highest rating.
