    I always worder if these sums include the fee of the lawyer. Would really be a much smaller payout if true.

      It shouldn’t, generally the order will be worded something like "The plaintiff has been awarded $xxxxx.xx + legal fees " as in whatever legal fees they accrued the defendant will have to pay in addition

      But then again, what do I know IANAL lol

      I assume the attorney’s fees is one of many reasons the amount increased. Because they insisted on doing things the hard way.
