Methinks Mr. Lane might be having a bad evening. Also, if Mr. Churchill didn't sign a contingent fee agreement, he might be wondering how far is $1 will go.

His lawyer will get the dollar. Generally on contingency fee agreements, the plaintiff gets 2/3 of the net after payment of costs and fees.

It is also quite possible that since Mr. Churchill prevailed in the lawsuit, that he could be personally liable to his attorney for payment of thousands of dollars in costs.

Some contingency fee arrangements call for the plaintiff to be liable to their attorney for costs and filing fees in the event of a verdict for the plaintiff (regardless of the amount) with a waiver of those fees in the event of a defense verdict.
