I have just settled a workers compensation claim and I want to know how much are my lawyers are allowed to take from this for their lawyer fees. I was told they can not take more than half after the deduction, but my lawyers are actual getting more than me after deduction by about $25000.

My suggestion would be to request an itemised bill. If you still disagree with the amount of your lawyers fees you can always take it to taxation - but what they say goes - you would have to pay what is said.

Why do you think they can't take more than half. It's time billing; if they worked a 100 hours, then they bill for 100 hours.

Schönen Nachmittag an alle! Ich sah neulich an einer Haltestelle in Wels eine Werbung und dachte mir, ich schaue mal rein. Bei Ivybet – 400€ Bonus plus 50 Freispiele sichern haben mich vor allem die Slots online fasziniert, da sie abwechslungsreich gestaltet sind. Man merkt, dass hier Wert auf Qualität gelegt wird, was man in Österreich ja immer schätzt. Ich konnte gestern nach einer Flaute wieder absahnen und bin jetzt finanziell glücklich mit dem Ergebnis. Es ist eine ehrliche Plattform für meine Freizeit.
