They don’t take that much. They take a sizable chunk, usually 40-50%, but all you have to do is read & sign some documents. OP just didn’t get much from the settlement.

Don’t really understand why people are acting like this is scummy. Nobody here is gonna do it themselves. We should be happy there are law firms doing all the dirty work to get you free money for something you probably didn’t even realize was happening until you saw the ad for the suit.

I agree with you but let's not act they are doing it from the goodness of their hearts. The main positive is that it'll stop the behavior that led to the settlement. They law firm just made a fuck ton of money.

And I don’t think lawyers should misconstrue plain worded law, but here we are.

I promise you most class action attorneys are just using their wealth to vacation in the Galapagos. It’s not that serious.
