The 2nd Circuit has asked the New York Court of Appeals to resolve uncertainty over the state of the law on client ratification of allegedly unconscionable attorney fee arrangements. The case involves a fight between a former member of the rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd and his attorney, who represented him on a contingency fee basis. The circuit has asked the state's highest court to resolve three questions, including whether it is even possible for a client to ratify an unconscionable fee arrangement.
