What will be the probable outcome if Lenny attempts to enforce the agreement that his fee will be a percentage of the recovery Lenny obtains for Cindy in her pending divorce, even though state law makes such a contingency fee arrangement illegal in divorce actions?
1) The contract will be valid. Cindy would not have been able to afford an attorney otherwise and therefore Lenny was doing a public service.
2) The contract will be voidable at Cindy's option.
3) The contract will be void as violating a statute. Lenny will not be able to recover anything.
4) The contract will be unenforceable if Lenny did not get the agreement in writing.
