a)
1) Whether a dispute has arisen between a
Petitioner and his attorney or former attorney concerning the amount of payment
of fees for services rendered or reimbursement of costs incurred in the
prosecution of a claim, or a claim is made for fees in excess of the fees
provided in Section 16(a) of the Workers' Compensation Act for extraordinary
services, either the Petitioner or his attorney or former attorney may file
with the Commission a Petition to Fix Fees which shall set forth the facts
surrounding the dispute and the relief requested.
2) On receipt of said Petition, the
Commission shall set the matter down for hearing after giving at least ten (10)
days notice to parties and all the attorneys for Petitioner. After hearing, the
Commission may enter an order dismissing the Petition or an award granting
relief.
b) The Commission may also enter an award setting partial attorney's fees for an attorney who has withdrawn based on the reasonable value of services rendered and the actual time expended. This award shall be taken into consideration in fixing the final attorney's fees in the matter so that in no event shall the total of all attorney's fees awarded to all attorneys exceed that allowable under Section 16(a) of the Workers' Compensation Act.
