Is there a NY Statue which dictates plaintiff pay a mandatory 33% legal fee to their attorney on a motor vehicle accident case? Thanks in advanced

An attorney took my case without committing to a retainer to see what he could get, wouldn’t provide a lien to surgeon for spine surgery and wanted me to settle for $30k though I had medical bills among others for more than than $100k. Since I wouldn’t accept the $30k he ask to be relieved and awarded $10k + $950 expenses. I argued he didn’t deserve the $10k because he had actually hindered my settlement value and medical treatments by refusing to provide the surgeon said lien. Judge stated that in NY there’s a statue that provides mandatory 33% legal fee for ones lawyer regardless of how much time or diligence they may or may not have had and that if one was apposed one would have to go thru other means to claim damages, etc.

Complicated ownership of home

My boyfriend and I never married. We were together for over 20 years. We had a mortgage on our home together but I am not on the deed. His brother is on the deed but not on the mortgage. We all lived together. My boyfriend passed away a couple of years ago and his brother and I thought everything was fine until my boyfriend’s estranged children, (who have never paid a dine toward the home), started saying that the house is legally their inheritance. My boyfriend did not have a will but his intent was for me and his brother to continue to live in the home. I assume because I am not on the deed, just on the mortgage, I have zero ownership. His brother however is on the deed. Does he now have complete ownership of the home and can he will the home to me or add me to the deed to transfer ownership to me once he passes away? We just found out that he has cancer.
