Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

I had a no fault accident in 2014.My lawyer told me she settle the case for 25,000 dollars.I will then receive 16,000dollars when she deducts her fees.My main question is :can I see the check the lawyer will be receiving from the insurance if it is exactly the amount she is declaring?

Don't trust your lawyer huh?

You will have to sign a release that will list the amount of the settlement and you also have a right to a copy of the settlement check.

Yes, ask for a copy of it in advance or tell her not to deposit the check without your endorsement
