Re: Legal fees a concern....

,

in case anyone hasn't already told you, here's an answer to your

question. The lawyer takes his commission from the backpay that is

awarded. Social security automatically deducts the amount and sends it

to the attorney. However, sort of good news, he's allowed to take 25% OR

a maximum of $5400.00, whichever is LESS. I only got about $5900 for my

backpay and they only took out about $1300 (I don't remember the exact

amount of backpay and amount they took out of mine, but these are close

estimates).
