    C) Hire a litigator who will agree to a contingent fee structure and require payment only if Marcos obtains a settlement or jury verdict.

    Explanation:

    Generally when lawyers agree to a contingent fee structure is because they are convinced their chances of winning are high. Lawyers will accept a fixed percentage of the amount recovered, usually this percentage is around 1/3 of the final settlement.

    This type of agreement is very useful since you don't need to invest a lot of money, and the lawyer's pay comes from the money awarded by the jury (or a settlement).
