Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

I became disabled from a work incident and hired an attorney, signed an agreement to handle my WC claim, we settled in June 16, 2010 and it is still not settled 7 months later. My attny. was very agressive before mediation, however, she not been agressive at all after mediation and I have had to push her the whole way. Florida has a % of settlement for attny fees in the Statues, yet recent changes state that the WC Judge will determine the amount.

My question is: My attny wants me to sign a form stating that I will not contest the fees, and I feel the Judge should know how little representation I have received AFTER mediation. Is it worth my while to do so. and do you think it will matter?

Thank-you

See is based on statutory amount. Objecting to a fee based on a statutory amount will only delay the process and cause you problems and you will lose in the long run.
