Text of Seventh Circuit Opinion Upholding Award of $325,000 in Attorney Fees on $50,000 FMLA Claim (PDF)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit Sept. 23, 2014
"Defendants' sole argument is that an award of almost $325,000 is not reasonable in relation to Cuff's recovery, which is less than $50,000. The ratio certainly seems high. Rational people do not set out to invest $325,000 in order to obtain $50,000. But then Cuff's lawyers surely did not expect at the outset of this case to invest that much legal time in its pursuit." [Cuff v. Trans State Holdings, Inc., No. 13-1241 (7th Cir. Sept. 19, 2014)]
