## Opinion text

ALLPORT, J.
I concur in the result reached by the majority that in future cases the WCAB cannot reduce an agreed fee which is within the board’s established guidelines without giving the attorney an opportunity to justify same. However, in my opinion, such a fee request should be clothed with a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness and be subject to reduction only after notice to the attorney and his being given an opportunity to further satisfy the board in this respect.
