30-40% is the norm.

When an attorney works on a contingency basis, the average percentage is 33%. They would recover 33% of any settlement after all disbursements are paid. If you do not recover a settlement, they don’t get paid.
20 percent if the case is fairly cut and dry
Not sure, but a 3rd sounds familiar!
