The law firm of simmons, jannace & stagg recently represented a woman whose lawyer was suing in a federal court to get a $2 million contingency fee after settling a woman's 9/11 lawsuit (the money had been awarded from the Victim's Fund which disfavored lawyer's fees to maximize the amount of money the victim's would get). The widow's lawyers contended that the fee was exhorbitant and that because the case was already under review by the state, that they should abtain from making judgement. The case was dismissed and is under investigation.
