So I got a document to sign for a lawyer at the CAVC. In it is stating a 20% fee for them to take the case if they win. In the documents they also have if it is anything but the CAVC there will be a 20% fee recovered if there is an award.
I am assuming this is standard for a lawyer to have in the paperwork?
In their letter they state they want to appeal to the CAVC and fight the ruling. I just want to make sure I understand the legal mumbo jumbo before I sign it.
In it they are stating 20% of the retro and then go into the EAJA. So will I be required to pay the 20% and then they get the EAJA?

I cannot answer last part of your question but having represented myself in a successful CUE appeal before the CAVC court in 2005 I can tell you a good attorney is worth his weight in gold to represen
