    Mike,

    Please don't create a new post to a response of an existing
    one. Just hit the 'Post a Response' button and start typing.

    Also, please accept my condolences for the loss of your child.

    If you did pay half, why don't you have a say and who told
    you you didn't? Also, a contingency is just that; a
    percentage of the amount awarded. If his contingency was
    around 25 percent, that would account for his fee. If he
    would have billed time/labor, then you might be looking at a
    lot less, or considerately more, especially if any of this
    went to trial. In a trial, legal fees could have exceeded the
    award amount.

    imho: You pay half, you DO have a say and should exercise
    that right!!!
