Q: What is the most % any attorney can charge after a settlement? Car accident
A:
First, this question does not have anything to do with Immigration law or Child custody. It is a personal injury question. Next, contingent fee agreements of this type are not set by law. The amount you are charged will depend on a number of factors which could include, the probability of success on the case (lower probability, higher percentage because more work); other factors include the extent of your actual damages; your goals for success in the litigation. If you think you are being overcharged, you should contact your attorney to discuss it and if you cannot resolve it, you can contact your county Bar association and see if they have a Fee Arbitration committee to which you can file a complaint and have a hearing.
