This case concerns a dispute over the division of attorneys' fees between former counsel, Lionel Giron, and current counsel, Charles Clark, from a settlement of $25,000. The WCJ initially awarded $600 to Giron and $3,150 to Clark. After a contested hearing involving allegations of fraud by Clark against Giron, the WCJ issued an order vacating the prior division. Due to contested notice issues and alleged prior commitments preventing Giron's appearance at a subsequent hearing, the Appeals Board granted reconsideration. The Board rescinded the WCJ's February 23, 2010 Findings and Order and returned the matter for a new hearing to allow Giron to present his case on fee division.
