Regardless of what it'll say in print, 75% of any money will go to lawyers, and the rest will be doled out accordingly. Affected workers will have to get in line with appropriate documentation for their $75 pre-paid Visa card, to be mailed to them and delivered within 8-12 weeks.
- rayiner 12y agoA judge would never approve such a high contingency fee. Standard contingency fee is about 35%.

- 6cxs2hd6 12y agoAlthough it's nowhere close to 75%, probably more like 33%, I agree with the spirit of what you're saying. Let's say the total settlement is for, say, $3 billion. The lawyers get $1 billion. That is a _lot_ of money for the work performed. More importantly it's money that the alleged victims are not getting. You could argue that the victims wouldn't get anything except for the great public good performed by these valiant legal heroes.
