A lot of lawyers attempt to draw out a case through all the appeals processes and then request from the judge a higher fee because of the amount of work done on the case.
the cloaimant does not have to agree to a higher amount, they just have to accept the judge's decision, The last time I looked on the SSA website the fees were up to $6500.
