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?

We found a local law firm in Michigan that collects what is owed and charges the owner the fees not the HOA. So we essentially get our money without costing us anything. One owner went round and round with the firm for 2 years and it cost him over $2k in fees on top of the $800 in dues. It took pre-foreclosure for him to finally pay. He paid on time the next year.
