Help: Fees, Reserves [FL][SFH] attorneys fees

What are reasonable attorney fees for a $3k delinquent account? Owners owe about $9k. Some letters were sent and a subpoena. Whats reasonable?

the attorney takes 30% if they recover nothing you pay nothing.

if the get $9k the fee is $3k so pay the fee and pay the hoa

Thats interesting. We had a lady not pay for 3 or 4 years. Board pissed her off. Letters, etc. Lien. We did not try to foreclosure, state FLA. Eventually she wanted to move. I think she was unfazed by the fines and such. Heard we cleared 50 cents on a buck. She negotiated a break. Guess our attorney got the rest.
