What is the name of your state?sc
a quick question. my husband was contacted by a law firm for possible inclusion in a possible class action suit.
the lawyer who met with us told us verbally that the lawyer's fees would be 30% plus $90 if settled or 40% if taken to trial.
yet the contract said 45%. i refused to let my husband sign. the gentleman said, that he didn't know why it said that figure, but it would be as he stated originally (verbally).
i responded that i knew enough to know that if it's not written down, it doesn't exist.
i think we were almost scammed.
should i report him? did he do something wrong? or is 45% standard?
thanks.
