As a client, you are entitled to information regarding your matter from your Counsel. The question of how much was received in settlement is clear: you are entitled to know (and approve) any settlement in your matter, to be provided an accounting of the settlement, any fees retained by Counsel, costs paid and the amounts due to you. You are entitled to have settlement sums timely released to you (so long as there is no dispute over liens and charges).
