Fascinating. I would love to hear more about your experiences! I could probably learn a thing or two (email in profile).
Ethics rules vary state to state. And, generally, a lawyer cannot split attorneys' fees with a non-lawyer. However, I'm aware of some jurisdictions that have exceptions to this rule, and perhaps, depending on the details, that might give them an out from the general prohibition.
But what you're describing is exactly the point I'm making. Having an attorney can often be a way to uncap your upside potential. If you can make the numbers work with the lawyer, then it's a win-win.
