Three days of hearings focused on the fairness of a $641 million settlement of civil claims tied to the Flint water crisis have come to an end.
Thursday’s final day of hearings focused on how much the lawyers will be paid.
Lawyer Frank Bednarz represents an advocacy group opposed to large attorney fees in civil suits.
He asked the judge to take time to review the attorneys' request for nearly a third of the $641 million settlement. 
“Claimants in Flint are going to need every scrap of relief they can get,” said Bednarz.
However, the lead attorneys in the settlement pushed back against Bednarz’ objection to their legal fees.
