How much is enough?

My ex-wife and myself were recently divorced. The legal bills for both of us combined were approximately $850,000.00.
I sold my family business during the divorce and netted about 2.1 million after taxes. After almost five years of legal turmoil, our first judge had to resign and they pulled a judge out of retirement who had NO idea of the complications of our case. We are both left with less then when we started. The question is this: What percentage of our total worth should our lawyers received for our case?

Were your attorneys on a contingency fee basis? They should have billed hourly rather than bilk by percentage.

They were on an hourly basis. Their hours are inflated, but how do you prove it?
