Attorney fee caps and contingency-fee rules, by state and federal program

Legal limits on what a lawyer may charge, by program and jurisdiction: workers' compensation in every US state and DC, Social Security (SSDI and SSI), the Federal Tort Claims Act, VA benefits, Longshore, FECA and black lung, plus medical-malpractice and general contingency-fee rules in the states covered. Each record gives the cap type, percent, dollar cap or sliding-scale tiers, what the percent applies to and who approves the fee, and cites the statute, rule or agency page with an exact quote and the date read (primary sources only). A lookup, not a fee calculator. 79 records. Canonical page: https://probativegrowth.com/research/attorney-fee-caps-by-state/. API: https://probativegrowth.com/data/v1/fees/index.json.
