This case involves a dispute over attorney's fees in a workers' compensation settlement where applicant's counsel requested 16% but was awarded 12% by the WCJ. The WCJ later ordered the withheld 4% ($960) disbursed to the applicant after counsel failed to appear at a hearing and subsequently agreed to the reduced fee in exchange for dismissal of sanctions. The applicant's attorney sought reconsideration, arguing lack of due process and insufficient evidence. The Board denied reconsideration, finding that counsel waived his objections by agreeing to the WCJ's proposed resolution in an email.
