FAQs

I went to see my lawyer to pick up my last account and receive settlement proceeds. To my surprise, the lawyer deducted an extra $25,000.00 for a “premium” without discussing this with me and without my agreement. Is this allowed?

The Courts adopt a supervisory role in relation to lawyers, including fees rendered by lawyers. Typically, the Courts will not permit a premium, unless there is a written agreement permitting such a premium, or the premium was discussed and agreed upon with the client.
