An amendment to prohibit contingent fees compensation for attorneys if the plaintiff in a suit accepts a settlement offer of the defendant, if the offer is made within two months of the filing of the complaint. The attorney for the plaintiff would be paid an hourly rate for work performed, limited to 10% of the amount of the settlement. If a settlement offer is rejected, the plaintiff's attorney would be awarded an hourly rate for work performed up until the time the offer was made, plus a percentage of the amount of the judgement in excess of the original settlement offer.
