This post talks about how this works in Maryland, why this is actually good system for victims and discusses Maryland Court of Special Appeals case pending on this issue. division of fees between attorneys not in the same law firm can be made without consideration of how much work is being done as long as the fee arrangement is in writing, each lawyer assumes joint responsibility for the claim, and the client is fully on board.
