The cc is ALREADY deducted from the check the lawyer received. Therefore, you still should get 60% of the 274,000 ($164400)less the expenses. The lawyers AGREED to cc when they signed up for the 7th. The lawyers are still getting 40%, it is just split between your attorney and the cc. $274,000.00 Settlement $(18,000.00) Less CC $256,000.00 Check from 7th $164,400.00 60% of Settlement $91,600.00 Balance to lawyer $256,000.00 Send him an email or note saying this is your understanding. My attorney was vague as well, so I sent him an email breaking it down. I was prepared for a disagreement but he had always understood and I was just nervous. I receieved the correct amount. Good luck.
