    Yes, If Becker & smith also performed a review engagement for troper

    Explanation:

    If the company already makes a customer review obligation it would add to a conflict of interests to participate into a contingent fee deal.

    AICPA explicitly prohibits its participants to join into contingent fee contracts if they still provide audit or assessment of financial statements to such customers.

    As a defendant, they pay no attorney fees, until then and until they sue, and then the prosecutor collects a share of your payments for recuperation. The fundamental concept of this contingency fee arrangement is that the defendant has little to no upfront costs. There is no court charge for the prosecutor should you lose your lawsuit.
