Nothing, if you have the right lawyer.
The only time I ever sued for anything the lawyer did it "pro-bono".
If a good lawyer sees that you have a strong case then they start counting
their own money and prefer a pro bono case because they keep 30% of
the settlement for their fees.
Example: you pay a lawyer $10k on a case and you win 100k settlement;
that lawyer is like "shit, lost 20k by not doing it pro-bono".
Also, if a lawyer knows that he is crappy then he will never take your case for
free because he knows he is going to lose anyway.
