What are the reasonable fees for services provided by counsel in a personal injury action?

The court can consider relevant factors in determining the reasonable fees to be awarded including the nature and extent of the services, the actual time spent, the necessity thereof, the nature of the issues involved, the professional standing of counsel, and the results achieved. The court can even make appraisals and employ its own knowledge and experience to make assessments regarding reasonable and proper fees given the extent of services rendered and reasonable value thereof (Jordan v. Freeman, 40 A.D.2d 656, 336 N.Y.S.2d 671 ).
