You choose one attorney or the other. They will decide between themselves how they will work out the division of the attorney fees you pay (if you receive a recovery in your case - I assume you have a contingent fee agreement).

You should not be required to pay any addtional attorney fees no matter which of them you select to be your lawyer. You might want to meet with each of them and talk about your case and your fee agreement n order to help make sure you understand everything and help you make your decision.
