Does $4100 in attorney fees on top of 1/3rd of a personal injury settlement seem expensive?

My personal injury attorney told me initially she would take 1/3rd of my settlement and around $500 in fees.

My case took just under 2 years.

She took her full 1/3rd and $4100 in fees. The fees caused me to lose a lot more of my settlement and it's disappointing.

    Fees/ filing expenses are never part of the 1/3.

    Impossible to answer without knowing the details of the case.  Certain circumstances can cause more expenses.

    Did you read the fine print,, was that $500 or "plus expenses".
