Attorney fees in a class action are typically paid out of the settlement fund created by the efforts of class counsel or by the defendant in the case. Class action cases are handled by our office on a contingency basis -- meaning there are no upfront fees or costs unless the case is won. The trial judge determines the amount of fees and costs that can be paid by class counsel out of the settlement fund or by the defendants.
