Attorney Fee (How an Attorney is Paid)
|
|
| The amount an attorney may be paid in a Workers' Compensation case is controlled by the Workers' Compensation Act. No attorney may receive more than 20% of wage loss or medical benefits for their representation in a Workers' Compensation case. The payment of attorney's fees to the attorney is usually automatically deducted from the employee's weekly benefit check and sent directly to the attorney. |
|
| A lower rate may be charged by an attorney in certain circumstances. For example, an attorney's representation in Compromise and Release negotiations is often less than 20%. |
|
| It is the standard practice of the firm of John T. Hofrichter & Associates to charge a rate less than 20% for Compromise and Release cases. Experience as well as cost should be considered in obtaining any legal representation. |
