More details to this question:
I am thinking about filing a lawsuit for defective transvaginal mesh. The lawyer I contacted wants 40% of the gross settlement then reimbursed for expenses from the net pay. Is that a fair deal? It sounds rather high to me.

Anywhere from 33 1/3rd to 40% is fairly standard. Especially with medical and/or product liability cases, the fee is often 40% because the cases are more difficult and take more time and expenses. However, you can always call around to see what other lawyers fees are in the area. Best of luck!
