CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns a dispute over attorney's fees arising from a workers' compensation settlement. The initial decision awarded a portion of the fees to one law firm (Pisegna) and denied any fees to another (Jacobson), who had previously represented the applicant. Jacobson petitioned for reconsideration, arguing they were entitled to a fee for services rendered. Following reconsideration, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) approved a stipulation between the two firms. The WCAB's amended order now divides the withheld attorney's fees, awarding $3,550.00 to Pisegna and $500.00 to Jacobson, with $2,700.00 to the applicant.
