What Payment Are The Attorneys For the Settlement Class Seeking? How Will The Lawyers Be Paid?

Plaintiffs’ Counsel have not received any payment for their services in pursuing claims against the Defendants on behalf of the Settlement Class, nor have Plaintiffs’ Counsel been reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses.  Before final approval of the Settlement, Lead Counsel will apply to the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees for all Plaintiffs’ Counsel in an amount not to exceed 33⅓% of the Settlement Fund.  At the same time, Lead Counsel also intends to apply for reimbursement of Litigation Expenses in an amount not to exceed $50,000, which may include an application for reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Plaintiffs directly related to their representation of the Settlement Class.  The Court will determine the amount of any award of attorneys’ fees or reimbursement of Litigation Expenses.  Such sums as may be approved by the Court will be paid from the Settlement Fund.  Settlement Class Members are not personally liable for any such fees or expenses.
