Is there any reason to reduce or reduce the amount of attorneys' fees awarded in a personal injury case?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from 600 Realty Heights, LLC v. Paula-Molina, 26 N.Y.S.3d 216 (Table) (N.Y. App. Term 2015):
The amount of the attorneys' fees award has ample support in the record and is not disturbed. The court appropriately evaluated counsel's testimony and records as to the nature, extent and necessity of the legal services rendered on landlord's behalf in this proceeding (see 542 East 14th Street LLC v. Lee, 66 AD3d 18, 2425 [2009] ) and warrants no further reduction.
