Yes, although 10 days is about the limit. The attorney can hold the check until it clears the bank. Attorneys must have Trust Accounts for these types of cases. The Trust Account is monitered by the state bar and must be strictly accounted for each year. The state bar can examine an attorney's Trust Account at any time without notice. I'm an atty and I always release the money as soon as the settlement check clears the bank.

reckoning on what the settlement is and who all it ought to be divided up between, it ought to take some weeks. The legal experts often times make an grant to who's owed - often times below the unique bill. this occurs plenty for medical expenditures too. I see all of it the time.

If it is in the contract you signed with them to act as your attorney, yes they can.

Yes they can. And in fact, some states require that.

Absolutely. But why are they giving MY settlement money to you?
