Attorney Roger Heidenreich of Sonnenschein Nath and Rosenthal, St. Louis, signed for Allstate.      <br /><br /> Attorneys Stephen Tillery of St. Louis and Jay Angoff of Jefferson City, Mo., signed for the plaintiffs.<br /><br />  The settlement creates three classes.<br /><br />  Anyone who has paid a tier adjustment surcharge since 1997 will receive 75 cents for each dollar of surcharge.<br /><br />  Anyone who should have received a discount since 1991 will receive 50 cents for each dollar of discount.<br /><br />  Anyone who has paid a prior nonstandard surcharge since 1991 will receive 17.5 cents for each dollar of surcharge.<br /><br />  Tillery's legal team will receive 29 percent of the settlement<br />award. From that amount Tillery will pay each named plaintiff $5,000.<br /><br />  Circuit Judge Nicholas Byron has set a May 24 hearing on a joint motion for approval.<br />"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
