In what circumstances will a court change its award of attorney fees?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Nickel v. Arb, Inc., G048500 (Cal. App. 2014):
So, we infer that the trial court in the matter before us found that: (1) the hours spent were not reasonable, (2) the billing rates were not reasonable, and/or (3) the lodestar figure should be adjusted downward for some reason. (Vo v. Las Virgenes Municipal Water Dist., supra, 79 Cal.App.4th at p. 447.) In short, Nickel has given us no reason to conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in fixing the award of attorney fees.
