Class Action Law Suit

What is the name of your state? Georgia

I have a settlement for a class action law suit. I was asked to sign the agreement so all persons that are part of this law suit may get paid.

I do not agree with the amount that I am asked to settle for. I asked for the total amount of the settlement and my lawyer will not give me this information. Is this legal?

I feel I need to know this information in order to make a reasonable request for a new individual settlement amount.

Why do you think lawyer won't tell you?

Perhaps because he can retire and move to Tahiti on the fee he is getting.

I kind of have a question about this thread. Can the OP even hope to "request an individual settlement" if he is part of a class action? I thought you had to opt out if you wanted your case to be special, but if you were part of a class action, all class members get the same amount?
