How much of the recovery will be used to pay attorney’s fees?

Attorney’s fees are generally awarded as a percentage of the benefit achieved by the attorneys for the class. The percentages vary depending upon, among other factors, the size of the recovery for the class, the time and labor expended by counsel, the risks of proving the elements of the claim, and the length and complexity of the litigation. The court, after notice to the class, determines whether the requested fee is fair and reasonable.
