Attorney fees

No attorney representing an applicant for compensation from the Fund shall be compensated from the moneys or any portion thereof received from the Fund for his or her services. However, an attorney or attorneys appointed in the manner and under the circumstances set forth in Rule 27 and Rule 29 of the Alabama Rules of Disciplinary Procedure may file a claim with the Committee for payment from the Fund for services rendered or reasonable expenses incurred in carrying out their duties pursuant to that appointment. Any payment made from the Fund to an attorney or qualified medical expert pursuant to Rule 27 and Rule 29 of the Alabama Rules of Disciplinary Procedure shall not exceed $25,000 per claim, unless circumstances in the discretion of the Committee warrant otherwise. Individuals making such a claim shall have no right of payment from the Fund.
