Do you need to pay Administrative/Clerical fees for auto accident case? or no?
Anonymous3 views6 answers
I had car accident in 8 month ago
my attorney is charging me 33% out of my settlement which is normal
but they charged extra for administrative / clerical fee out of my settlement.
can someone explain me about that?
and why they are charging administrative / clerical fees? not just attorney fee?
why do i need to pay their employee work?
This is dependent on your fee agreement. A lawyer may charge a reasonable fee, what is considered reasonable is determined by the ethics committee of the state bar association.
Start with reviewing your representation agreement. If that does not answer your question, ask your counsel to explain your charges to you in more detail.
It's unclear what you mean by administrative/clerical fee. However, it is not uncommon however for case costs to be charged separately from the legal fee for the attorney
