@wengell - Please ask your own new question with the details. You are tagging onto a 3 year old question that has been answered and the tax laws have changed. Almost no body that can give you a current answer will see this "add on" comment to an old question.
Some attorneys fees for collecting income are still "above the line" deductible but most personal injury fees are not.
But is you want a more definitive answer then please ask a new question so more user will see it.
