Just be clear (in writing) of what atty is doing and promised to do for you, and where /when any dispersements come from.. your percentage or his, or off the top then divided out..??

my long ago work comp claim atty , told me a lot of stuff, I'll help you do this and that etc,, but after he got his $$$, it was very hard to get anything else help wise..
Some of my PT bills came off the top of the settlement, but atty didn't list the MRI so that fell back to me to pay... after all done..
