Attorneys fees are generally paid by the party that hires the lawyer. On the other hand if we get a big enough settlement, one third will not cost you too much. There are certain Provisions in the wage and hour laws that permit for the payment of lawyer fees. Consult the employment lawyer.

Talk to a lawyer in your state. The rules vary between states.
