Hmmm, was the 2500 settlement after or before fees? 2500 is less than 10 hours of mlearnedgentlemens billable so a contingency may / may not be in the best interests of the client. Though these days may be more the case of filing the correct paperwork.
Thats the problem with contingency fees, they can result in a big payout to the lawyer, but if there is a loss the lawyer is eating the time for 0 fee income.
