Could anyone recommend a good lawyer in Atlanta that I could pay to review a contract to make sure that what I think it says (and what it should say) is actually in it?

It is for a workers compensation settlement, and when I try calling lawyers to ask if I can pay them to read the contract, they are telling me they want 40% of the settlement amount. I can understand that being standard practice if they were to negotiate the settlement, but that's not what I'm looking for.

I'm certainly willing to pay a few hundred dollars (or whatever a standard hourly rate is these days) for their time in reading the document (8 pages), but 40% seems a little much for that.
