Contingency fee cases can sometimes be seen as a risk, because the lawyer does not get paid unless they win the case. However, the risk is lower if you are more likely to win your case. With a lower risk, the more likely you are to find an attorney willing to take the case.
The problem of recovering litigation costs drives many of the claims for imaginative damages. Contingent fees create an undue emphasis on the extent of the plaintiffs damages, and they encourage the filing and prosecution of cases with large damages but little negligence.
Contingency fees mean you will pay the lawyer a certain percentage of the money you receive if you win the case or settle the matter out of court. If you lose your case, the lawyer does not receive any payment from you.
There are also possible disadvantages. If you settle or win your case early in the process, the percentage of the award your lawyer or paralegal charges you for legal fees may be higher than if you had been paying hourly or fixed fees.
Under a traditional contingency fee arrangement, a client is not charged attorney fees if he loses the case. If the client recovers damages from settlement or a favorable verdict, the attorney receives the fee from the recovery.

The problem with the contingent fee mediator -- besides being unethical in most jurisdictions -- is that it creates an appearance of impropriety and creates a bad taste in the mouth of the prospective clients. Moreover, from a business standpoint, the mediator has two clients: the Plaintiffs and Defense.
