In a personal injury action, in what circumstances will the trial judge award a fee for professional services rendered in this case?

Finally, trial courts are typically the forum in which fee determinations are initially made, and we give great deference to those courts. The " ' " 'experienced trial judge is the best judge of the value of professional services rendered in his court, and while his judgment is of course subject to review, it will not be disturbed unless the appellate court is convinced that it is clearly wrong.' " ' (Ketchum, supra, 24 Cal.4th at pp. 1131-1132.)" (Graham v. DaimlerChrysler Corp., supra, 34 Cal.4th at p. 579.) Here, however, the litigation was initiated and pursued in this court, and it is this court that is in the best position to value the legal services rendered in this case.
