This section limits claim-service fees to a percentage of the first $20,000 and a smaller percentage of any excess. An agreement for more is void, and violations may bring a fine, imprisonment, or both.
No remuneration on account of any services rendered on behalf of any claimant in connection with any claim filed with the Commission* under this subchapter must exceed 10 percent of so much of the total amount of such claim, as determined under this subchapter, as does not exceed $20,000, plus 5 percent of so much of such amount, if any, as exceeds $20,000. Any agreement to the contrary must be unlawful and void. Whoever, in the United States or elsewhere, demands or receives on account of services so rendered, any remuneration in excess of the maximum permitted by this section, must be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than twelve months, or both.
