READ SECTIONS 8, 12 & 13 CAREFULLY Berkes Crane Robinson & Seal, LLP ( BCRS or Plaintiff ), a law firm with its principal place of business in the City of Los Angeles, has brought suit against the City of Los Angeles ( City ) alleging that the City has been improperly taxing BCRS and other lawyers and law firms (hereafter collectively referred to as law firm(s) or firms ) for certain expenses and costs which BCRS advanced on behalf of its clients and then was reimbursed by the client. These expenses and costs consist of expenses that were advanced by the firm, and then reimbursed to the firm by the client pursuant to its agreement with its clients (hereafter Reimbursed Expenses ). BCRS alleges Reimbursed Expenses should not be included in the calculation of gross receipts of the law firm for purposes of establishing the law firm s tax liability to the City.

3 BASIC INFORMATION 1. Why did I get this Notice? As a law firm doing business in the City of Los Angeles, you are, or were, subject to the City s Business Tax. The City s records indicate that you are, were or have been, obligated to file a self-reporting Business Tax Application ( Application ). Along with that Application, you are required to self-report your gross receipts, and calculate your City Tax. You received this Notice because the City has identified you as a law firm that has filed Business Tax Applications during the Class periods. As a result, you are, or may be, a Member of one or more of three (3) certified Classes. In summary, the three Classes of Members consist of: 1) law firms that have paid the City Tax, were then audited and after audit were required to pay additional tax because the City included in the recalculation of the reported gross receipts Reimbursed Expenses; 2) law firms that included Reimbursed Expenses in its own self-reporting calculation of gross receipts because of the City s announced policy that Reimbursed Expenses were not excluded from gross receipts and 3) all law firms that will be subject to the City Tax and subject to future audits or self-reporting of its own gross receipts. 2. What is a Class action? In a Class action, one or more people, called Class Representatives or Named Plaintiffs (in this case Berkes Crane Robinson & Seal, LLP), sue on behalf of all people who have similar claims. Together, these people with similar claims are called a Class or Class Members. One court resolves the issues for all Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class. The party suing is called the Plaintiff. The party sued, in this case the City, is called the Defendant. 3. Why is this Lawsuit a Class Action? The Court decided that this lawsuit should proceed as a Class action because it meets the requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure section 382. Specifically, the Court has determined: a) the Classes are sufficiently numerous; b) the Members of the Classes are sufficiently ascertainable; c) common questions of law and fact predominate; d) Plaintiff s claims are typical of other Class Members; e) the Classes are manageable; f) Plaintiff and the lawyers representing Plaintiff will fairly and adequately represent Class Members interests; g) the litigation is dominated by questions common to all Class Members, rather than questions that affect only individual Class Members; h) the fact that Class Members may receive different amounts in damages does not defeat the Class; and i) proceeding as a Class action is a superior means of resolving the dispute, as compared with individual action. The Court s Order Granting Plaintiff s Motion for Class Certification for Settlement Purposes and Preliminary Approval of this Settlement is available at That document contains additional information as to why this matter has been certified as a Class action. 4. What does the lawsuit complain about? THE CLAIMS IN THE LAWSUIT As stated above, BCRS complains that the City has engaged in the improper practice of including Reimbursed Expenses in the total gross receipts received by a law firm for purposes of calculating the City Tax. Reimbursed Expenses are defined as expenses and costs that were advanced by the firm, and then reimbursed to the firm by the client pursuant to its agreement with the law firm. A copy of the First Amended Complaint against the City can be found at pg. 3

4 5. How do the defendants defend this Lawsuit? The City has filed an answer with the Court denying the allegations of the First Amended Complaint. By entering into this Settlement, the City is not admitting any liability. A copy of the City s answer to the lawsuit can be found at 6. Has the Court decided who is right? The Court has made no decision whether Plaintiff s allegations are correct. Although the Court will ultimately decide whether to approve the Settlement as final, it will not make any finding that the City has done anything wrong or violated any law, or that any of the allegations are true or false. 7. Why is there a Settlement? Both sides agreed to the Settlement to avoid the cost and risk of further litigation. The Settlement does not mean the Defendant violated any laws or engaged in any wrongdoing, nor does it mean that Plaintiff would not prevail if the case went to trial. There are several significant legal and factual issues in dispute in this Action. After assessing all factors related to the case, both Plaintiff and Defendant believe that a Class-wide Settlement is in the best interests of all Parties. 8. Who are the Class Members? THE CLASS MEMBERS All law firms that do business within the City are potentially Class Members. Because this Settlement provides both monetary and injunctive relief, some Class Members may not be entitled to monetary relief but will obtain the benefit of the injunctive relief that will govern their future Application filings with the City. There are two (2) Classes of Class Members that are entitled to monetary relief. You may be a Member of each Class and it is important to read the criteria for each Class. It will also be important to file a separate claim form by the deadlines set forth herein for your Class A(2) claim if you are a Member of more than one Class. Monetary Class A(1): Class Members are all law firms that were audited by the City and as a result of the audit paid additional tax, interest and penalties based on a recalculation of the Class Member s gross receipts to include Reimbursed Expenses (see section 4 above). You must have been audited to be a Member of this Class. The Class Period for Class A(1) is May 1, 2010 through December 31, That means the audit of your law firm had to take place between May 1, 2010 and December 31, The actual years that may be affected will be those years included within any audit conducted between these dates. Monetary Class A(2): Class Members are all law firms that included, in their own calculation of gross receipts, Reimbursed Expenses and paid tax on said amount. The Class Period for Class A(2) is taxable calendar years 2010 to 2016, as paid in years 2011 through 2017, inclusive. Injunctive Class B: Class Members are all law firms who are required to pay Los Angeles City Business Tax and for which the City would require, absent this injunction, the inclusion of Reimbursed Expenses in the calculation of gross receipts. 9. How do I know if I am a Class Member of Class A(1)? The City will tell you if you are a Class A(1) Class Member. The City has information that identifies the law firms it audited during the Class Period and can determine if it assessed additional tax on your firm from its records. It can also identify those audits where an additional assessment was made because, upon audit, it concluded that you did not include Reimbursed Expenses in your calculation of gross receipts. pg. 4

5 YOU WILL NEED TO DO NOTHING TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU ARE A CLASS A(1) MEMBER. IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF CLASS A(1) YOU WILL RECEIVE A REFUND NOTICE FROM THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR IDENTIFYIMG YOU AS A CLASS MEMBER OF CLASS A(1) TELLIING YOU THE AMOUNT OF YOUR REFUND. THE REFUND LETTER WILL ALSO TELL YOU IF YOU ARE A CROSSOVER CLASS MEMBER AND ENTITLED TO A REFUND FOR THE AUDITED YEARS. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE A CLASS A(1) CLASS MEMBER BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE AUDITED DURING THE CLASS PERIOD AND WERE ASSESSED ADDITIONAL TAX, INTEREST AND PENALTIES BASED ON FAILURE TO REPORT REIMBURSED EXPENSES, BUT YOU DID NOT RECEIVE A REFUND NOTICE, YOU CAN CONTACT THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR AT THE NUMBER SET FORTH BELOW AND THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR WILL INFORM YOU HOW TO MAKE A CLAIM. 10. How do I know if I am a Class Member of Class A(2)? Class A(2) Class Members are law firms that have, on their own, included Reimbursed Expenses in calculating its gross receipts. Some law firms may have voluntarily included Reimbursed Expenses in each of the Class years. Another example is if a law firm was audited in 2010 and was told it must include Reimbursed Expenses in its calculation of gross receipts and thereafter voluntarily included them in subsequent Class years. You do not have to have been audited to be a Class A(2) Class Member. You must only have voluntarily included Reimbursed Expenses in your gross receipt calculation. Absent an audit, the City has no information as to whether a law firm did or did not include Reimbursed Expenses in the calculation of its gross receipts. In order for you to determine if you are a Class A(2) Class Member, you must review your Applications filed during the Class Period, the gross receipts reported, and then your own internal books and records to determine if you included Reimbursed Expenses in your gross receipts. You will be required to complete a Claim Form included with this Notice to recover money under this portion of the Settlement. If you lose the Claim Form enclosed with this notice and need another Claim Form, it can be obtained at The Claim Form can be used as a guide as to what information you will need to determine if you are a Class A(2) Class Member. Retain all documentation that supports your claim. You may be asked to produce substantiation of your claim. 11. Can I be a Class Member of both Classes at the same time? YES. THERE ARE TWO SITUATIONS BY WHICH YOU COULD BE A MEMBER OF BOTH CLASSES. 1. It is possible that you were audited at some point and fall within the definition of Class A(1). Having been told by the City that Reimbursed Expenses are included in gross receipts, you may have subsequently voluntarily included the disputed Reimbursed Expenses in calculating your gross receipts and thus also fall within the definition of Class A(2). For instance, because Plaintiff was audited and paid the assessment after audit, Plaintiff is a Class A(1) Class Member. Further, because Plaintiff thereafter followed the City s directive to include Reimbursed Expenses in its calculation of gross receipts, Plaintiff is entitled to a refund as a Class A(2) Member. A Class A(2) Claim Form is required for any Class Member that wants to make a claim for a year that was not audited. The City does not know you are a Class (A)(2) Class Member unless you tell it. 2. It is possible that you were audited at some point and fall within the definition of Class A(1). However, in the course of that audit it was determined that you had, in fact, included some Reimbursed Expenses in calculating your gross receipts, but the City found you had not included all of them. You will get pg. 5

6 a Class A(1) refund of the additional payment you made after the audit and assessment. You will also get a refund as a Class A(2) Class Member since the City has information that you paid tax on Reimbursed Expenses. The refund for this voluntary inclusion of Reimbursed Expenses will be paid from the Class A(2) Settlement pool. For purposes of this Settlement, you fall into the category of a Crossover. A Crossover Class Member does NOT have to submit a Class A(2) Claim Form. However, for any year in which you believe you included Reimbursed Expenses in calculating your gross receipts and for which you were NOT audited, you must file a Class A(2) Claim Form by the Claim Deadline. 12. What if I was audited but do not receive a Claim Form? The City has identified 25 law firms for which audits were conducted during the Class Period that may qualify as Class A(1) Class Members, but where the City has not been able to locate anything other than identifying information. Along with this Class Notice, these potential 25 Class Members are being sent a Claim Form and Explanatory Letter as to how they may submit a Claim. Because the City has no information on these 25 Class Members, the City will evaluate the validity of any submitted Claim. Each potential Class Member is given the opportunity to submit information to support a claim and a refund. The Explanatory Letter sets forth, in detail, the manner in which these Class Members may submit a claim, including submission of the Class Member s own internal records of an audit and any amounts paid on Reimbursed Expenses. Additionally, if you have proof that you were audited and an audit resulted in an assessment of additional City tax for your failure to include Reimbursed Expenses in your gross receipts, and the audit took place during the years May 1, 2010-December 31, 2013, you may contact the Claims Administrator for instructions on how to file a claim. 13. What does the Settlement provide for me? THE SETTLEMENT BENEFITS The objective of the Action was twofold: First, to recover for Class Members any money paid to the City that constituted a tax on Reimbursed Expenses, along with penalties and interest that were assessed by the City. Second, to enjoin the City from further claiming that Reimbursed Expenses should be included in the calculation of gross receipts for purposes of determining your City tax obligation. Monetary Class A(1): If you were audited by the City and assessed additional tax, interest and penalties you will receive a full refund of the amount of additional tax you paid along with interest and penalties you paid. This is a dollar for dollar refund. The City has calculated this amount to be approximately $956, Your individualized Refund Notice that came with this Notice, sets forth the amount of your refund. The Group of 25 will receive the same payment. Crossovers will receive the same payment, subject to the Distribution Plan set forth for Class A(2) Class Members in Section 2.03 of the Settlement Agreement. Monetary Class A(2): If you timely and correctly complete the Claim Form, you will receive a payment in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Settlement Agreement. Section 2.03 provides that the City shall fund a Settlement pool in the amount of $ 3,618, Upon submission of a timely and properly executed Claim Form as set forth below in Section 4.07, the City shall pay each Class A(2) Eligible Monetary Settlement Class Member a refund of all taxes paid on Reimbursed Expenses during the Class period. To the extent there are sufficient funds to pay each Class A(2) Class Member a full refund, then a full refund shall be made. To the extent the dollar amount of Class A(2) Class Member claims exceeds the total pool, then each Class A(2) Class Member shall receive a proportionate share calculated by applying the percentage the pool represents to the total Class A(2) Class Member claims and applying that percentage to each individual claim. pg. 6

7 Additionally, if you were audited and had included some, but not all Reimbursed Expenses in your calculation of gross receipts, the City will refund the tax on that portion you voluntarily included. Also, if you had a credit for an overpayment and the credit was reduced by an assessment for non-included Reimbursed Expenses, you will receive a refund of the tax on the amount deducted from your credit. These payments shall be made from the Class A(2) Settlement pool. Injunctive Class: The City will no longer require the inclusion of Reimbursed Expenses in the calculation of gross receipts. This has significant future value to Class Members as they will no longer be required to include Reimbursed Expenses in gross receipts for taxation purposes. 14. How can I receive my portion of the Settlement? Class A(1) Members: You do not have to do anything. If you do not opt out of the Settlement, you will receive a refund from the Claims Administrator. Your refund is set forth in the enclosed Refund Notice. Class A(1) Crossover Members: You do not have to do anything. If you do not opt out of the Settlement, you will receive a refund from the Claims Administrator. Your expected refund, consistent with Section 2.03 of the Settlement Agreement, is set forth in the enclosed Refund Notice. Class A(2) Members: You must complete the Claim Form which is included with this Notice and specifically identified for Class A(2) Class Members. All information must be completed. This Claim Form requires you to calculate the amount you overpaid in your self-reporting of gross receipts. This information may be subject to audit by the City. Be sure you retain all documents, books and records that evidence the manner in which you calculated your claimed refund. Additional copies of the Claim Form can be obtained on the website. Group of 25 Class Members: Enclosed with this Notice is a Claim Form with clear instructions how to submit a Claim. You must follow the instructions in the letter and submit a Claim Form. Additional copies of the Claim Form and instructions can be obtained from the website. To submit a Claim Form, send it by U.S. mail to: Claims Administrator c/o BCRS Settlement CPT Group, 50 Corporate Park, Irvine, CA You may also submit the Claim Form by to bcrssettlement@cptgroup.com ALL CLAIM FORMS MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN JANUARY 13, 2018 IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR PAYMENT. 15. What happens if the City disputes my submitted Claim Form? Class A(2) Class Members and the Group of 25 need to actually review their books and records and make a dollar claim. In the event there are any defects or discrepancies, there is a procedure set forth in the Settlement to cure these defects. The Settlement provides steps for the City to make every effort to get any deficiency cured. This includes contacting you for information. The procedure for curing these defects and appeal can be found in the Settlement at Section If the City issues a final rejection of a Class A(2) Class Members claim the Settlement provides for an appeal process. The Settlement is at Appeal: If your claim is disputed by the City there are deadlines for curing any defects in your claim. If there is no cure and the City rejects your claim, there are Deadlines for the filing of an appeal. ALL DEADLINES WILL BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE pg. 7

8 16. When will I receive payment under this Settlement? If the Court grants final approval to the Settlement, you will receive your payment no later than 30 days after the Effective Date of the Settlement. An appeal of the court s order finally approving Settlement could delay Settlement becoming effective. If the Court does not approve the Settlement for any reason, you will not receive any payment. 17. What am I giving up in this Settlement? If you are a Member of the Settlement Class who does not opt you will be giving up your claims against the City as described in the Settlement in Article VII, Sections For your reference, the exact Release language from the Settlement Agreement and Release is as follows: Section 7.01 Release. Upon the Effective Settlement Date, and in consideration of the promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have completely released and forever discharged the Released Parties from the Released Claims. Section 7.02 Covenant Not to Sue. The Class Members agree not to sue or otherwise make a claim against the Released Parties, and all persons or entities acting by, though, under, or in concert with any of them for the Released Claims. Section 7.03 No Assignment of Claims. No Class Member may assign his or her claim to any third party without the express written consent of the City. Named Plaintiff represents and warrant that it has not assigned any claim to anyone else. Named Plaintiff further represents and warrants that it is not presently aware of any putative Class Member who has assigned any claim. Section 7.04 Limitation of Releases. It is not the intent of the City or the Class Members to release each other from matters relating to the general taxation of the Class Members, or the claims for overpayment of taxes, underpayment of taxes, reimbursement or other taxing matters other than those related to the Released Claims. The Released Claims are those claims related to the overpayment by Class Members of their City Business Tax for the years 2010 through the present, by including in their gross receipts, or being audited and the City including in its recalculation of gross receipts, Reimbursed Expenses. The Settlement defines the terms used in the release as follows: Released Claims means any claim, right, demand, charge, complaint, action, cause of action, obligation, or liability of any and every kind, including, without limitation, those known or unknown, those asserted or that could have been asserted, from the beginning of the world until today, and including without limitation those that arise out of common law, state law, or federal law, that the Injunctive Settlement Class Members and the Monetary Settlement Class Members had or have relating in any way to the City claiming, taxing, collecting or penalizing a Class Member regarding a Class Member s reporting of gross receipts to the City for purposes of calculating a Class Member s City Tax Liability, solely as it relates to the inclusion or exclusion of money received by Class Members from clients for Reimbursed Expenses. The City is not releasing Class Members from any other tax reporting liabilities. The Class Members are not releasing the City from any other tax reporting liabilities or claims. The Released Claims are specifically those set forth in this Action. Released Parties means the City, its past, present, future controlling persons, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors-in-interest, predecessors, assigns, insurers, as well as the directors, officers, agents, employees, and attorneys of such entities. Releasing Parties means Representative Plaintiff, each Injunctive Settlement Class Member, and each Monetary Settlement Class Member, and each of their respective spouses, children, executors, representatives, pg. 8

9 guardians, wards, heirs, estates, bankruptcy estates, bankruptcy trustees, successors, predecessors, guardians, wards, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, co-mortgagors, co-obligors, co-debtors, attorneys, agents and assigns, and all those who claim through them or who assert claims (or could assert claims) on their behalf. EXCLUDING YOURSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT 18. Who may exclude themselves from the Settlement? Members of the Monetary Settlement Classes may seek exclusion from the Settlement. 19. Why would I ask to be excluded from the Monetary Settlement? If you want to pursue your own lawsuit against the City for refund of any taxes you believe were improperly collected or paid on Reimbursed Expenses you need to ask to be excluded from the Settlement Classes. If you exclude yourself from a Settlement Class for which you are a proper Class Member, which is sometimes called opting out of the Class, you will not be paid any money from the Settlement for that Class. However, you may then be able to sue the City for a refund of any excess taxes you may have paid arising from the inclusion, in gross receipts, of Reimbursed Expenses. If you exclude yourself, you will not be legally bound by the portion of the Court s judgment finally approving the portion of the Settlement for which you have excluded yourself. If you start your own lawsuit against the City after you exclude yourself, you will have to hire and pay your own lawyer for that lawsuit, and you will have to prove your claims. If you do exclude yourself so you can start your own lawsuit against the City, you should talk to your own lawyer soon, because your claims may be subject to a statute of limitations. 20. How do I ask to be excluded from the Settlement Class or Classes? You must give notice of your intention to exclude yourself from the Settlement Class. If you are a Member of more than one Class, you have the right to opt out of either one or both Classes. You must be specific in your exclusion notice as to which Class you claim you are a Member of and from which Class or Classes you are excluding yourself. To exclude yourself (or to opt out ) from one or both Settlement Classes you must mail a notice of your intention to opt out that includes your name, address, telephone number, and, FEIN and BTRC number. Your notice of intention to opt out need not be in any particular form, but must clearly indicate an intent not to participate in the specific Settlement from which you seek exclusion. You must mail this notice to: Claims Administrator c/o BCRS Settlement CPT Group, 50 Corporate Park, Irvine, CA You may also submit the notice by to bcrssettlement@cptgroup.com Your notice must be postmarked or received by the Claims Administrator by December 19, 2017 to be valid 21. Who may object to the Settlement? OBJECTING TO THE SETTLEMENT Only Members of Class A(1), A(1) Crossovers and the Group of 25 (law firms that have been audited and assessed additional taxes based on Reimbursed Expenses), may object to that portion of the Settlement pertaining to audited firms. Only Class A(2) Members and Crossovers, (firms that have self-reported gross receipts that include Reimbursed Expenses), may object to that portion of the Settlement pertaining to selfreporting firms. All Class Members may object to any other aspect of the Settlement. pg. 9

10 22. How do I object to the Settlement? A written objection must be filed with the Claims Administrator as set forth below. Your objection must (a) attach documents establishing, or providing information sufficient to confirm that you are in fact a Class Member; (b) include a statement setting forth your specific objections and the grounds for such objections; (c) identify all documents you desire the Court to consider; (d) include an address where you may receive service of process; and (e) state whether you are represented by counsel, and if so, the name and mailing address of your counsel. Your objection will not be considered valid unless you comply with these requirements. The Claims Administrator will file all objections with the Court 14 days prior to the date set for hearing on the Final Approval of the Settlement. You or your attorney may appear and talk about your objections at the Fairness Hearing (The Fairness Hearing is the time and place when the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement). Any Class Member who does not provide a timely written objection in the manner prescribed in the Preliminary Approval Order shall be deemed to have waived any objection and shall forever be foreclosed from making any objection to the fairness, reasonableness, or adequacy of the proposed Settlement, the award of attorneys fees, or the named plaintiffs case contribution awards. A copy of the Preliminary Approval Order can be found on the website at Your objection must be filed and served by December 19, 2017 to be considered. Although the Court will consider your objection(s), there is no guarantee the Court will agree with them or take any legal action based on them. Your objection is filed with the Claims Administrator and served on counsel. Do not file the objection with the Court. Class Counsel: Michael R. Brown, Esq. Michael R. Brown APC 2030 Main Street Suite 550 Irvine, CA Counsel for the City of Los Angeles: Michael N. Feuer, Esq. Beverly A. Cook, Esq. Los Angeles City Attorney s Office 200 North Main Street 9 th Floor, MS 140 Los Angeles, CA Stephen Weisskopf, Esq. THEODORA ORINGHER 1800 Century Park East, Suite 600 Los Angeles, CA Claims Administrator CPT Group 50 Corporate Park Irvine, CA What is the difference between objecting and excluding Objecting is telling the Court that you do not like something about the Settlement. Excluding yourself, if you are a Member of a Settlement Class, is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class. pg. 10

11 If you exclude yourself from a Class you have no basis to object unless you remain a Class Member in another Class because the Settlement no longer affects you. 23. What if I do nothing? DOING NOTHING If you do nothing, and you are a Class A(1) Class Member or a Crossover Class Member that received a Refund Notice, you will receive the monetary benefit of this Settlement by waiting for its Final Approval. If you are a Class A(2) Class Member or a Group of 25 Member and you do nothing you will not receive any monetary benefit. You will, however, still get the benefit of any Injunctive Relief awarded under this Settlement for future Application filings 24. Do I have a lawyer in this case? THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING YOU Yes. The Court appointed Michael R. Brown of Michael R. Brown, APC to represent you and all other Class Members. Mr. Brown is called Class Counsel. You are not responsible for paying these lawyers. Mr. Brown is located at Michael R. Brown APC 2030 Main Street Suite 550, Irvine, CA Should I get my own lawyer? You do not need to hire your own lawyer because Class Counsel is working for you. If you want someone other than Class Counsel to speak for you, you may hire your own lawyer at your own expense. 26. Administrative Expenses, Attorney s Fees and Expenses and Plaintiff Incentive Award As part of this Settlement, the City will be paying for all of the administrative costs in administering this Settlement. The Settlement fund will not be charged for any of these expenses. Class Counsel will also ask the Court to award attorney s fees and all related costs. The City has agreed to pay all Attorney s Fees and Costs and the Settlement pool of money is not depleted by this payment. Class Counsel may ask for an award of up to $1,200,000 which is approximately 12% of the value of the monetary and injunctive relief, which combined value is approximately $10,000,000. The City has agreed to pay all attorney s fees, costs, incentive awards and settlement administrative fees outside of the settlement pool and dollars allocated for settlement. Fees and expenses, if awarded by the Court, would be paid separately by the Defendant and not deducted from any of the Settlement money. 27. How do I get more information?
