That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
If you need $100,000 to repair your house and you pay your lawyer 20%, you should sue for an amount that includes both the repair cost and the lawyer's fee. To calculate this, you need to divide the repair cost by (1 - lawyer's fee percentage). In this case, the lawyer's fee is 20%, so you divide $100,000 by (1 - 0.20), which is equal to $125,000. Therefore, you should sue for $125,000.
