Some lawyers take a fee on the medical portion of No Fault cases, while others do not. My firm does not take a fee on the medical portion of the claim so that you aren't left owing medical providers, but it is permitted. You should read the contract you signed with your lawyer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Whiting Law - 248-355-5900.

Perhaps this piece that I wrote, and especially the last section on what you can do will be of help:

While your attorney may not have gone to court, there are many things that occur outside of the courtroom that go into a successful resolution of your case. If you have concerns about the "net" you are receiving, it's best to discuss this fully with you attorney.

   You agreed to pay him 33% of what you got, now the case is over (and won) and you don't want to pay.
   
   Unfortunately, I don't believe you have any recourse.
