In Elite Carpentry Contractors v. Workmen's Compensation Appeal Board (Dempsey), 161 Pa. Commw. 89, 636 A.2d 250, 253 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993) the Court held that when the WCJ recites the number of hearings scheduled, the length of time the litigation was pending, the number of petitions filed and litigated, and the number of briefs written, such a recitation constitutes a sufficient assessment of the difficulty of the work performed and a quantum meruit fee can be based on that assessment.
