I think cases here need fees to be paid up front, whereas I heard in the US, you don't get charged if a lawyer decides to take your case and your prosecution fails.

The only time a lawyer will work without payment upfront in the U.S. is when it's related to physical injury or malpractice and they're almost guaranteed a nice cut at the end.
For a consumer law affair like this it'd be pay up front unless it looked likely to go class action for a nice pay out, and even then they'd require filing fees, travel, and any other up front costs.
