Court Awards Plaintiff's Attorney the Highest Rate Awarded in a Disability Case to Date: $900 per Hour
Michelle L. Roberts via LinkedIn 
Jan. 2, 2019 "[T]he court found that hourly rates of $450 for the associate on the case and $900 for the partner to be reasonable and within the prevailing rates in the market of ERISA attorneys. The court rejected Defendants' argument that [the plaintiff] should not get full fees because a few claims were dismissed early in the case. The court found that the claims arose from the same core of facts such that the work done on the dismissed claims was likely to have aided and overlapped with the successful abuse of discretion claim." [Dimry v. Bert Bell/Pete Rozelle NFL Player Ret. Plan, No. 16-01413 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 22, 2018)] MORE >> |
