Ok legal peeps...

Say you get $100,000 settlement for an car accident.

You are awarded $10,000 Winter's fee (#Hammm? #Mahler?) to help pay legal fees.

Can the attorney take 33+% fee out of THAT??

They can't calculate the Winter's fee until after there is a claim settlement so how is that even legal?

By calling it "money recovered" instead of "settlement"?

Anyone?
