Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

settlement

Hello,

I have a workers comp case and my question is what part of the settlement does my I attorney receive? I have been receiving SSI which put a lien on my settlement. Does my Attorney take 15% of the total settlement or after I payback SSI?
