Texas District Court Recommends Significant ERISA Fee Award, Approves Out-of-District Rates and Rejects Proportionality Arguments
Roberts Disability Law 
Jan. 23, 2026 "Plaintiff's counsel -- primarily based in California -- sought rates ranging from $500 to $900 per hour. United argued that Texas rates should apply and that the requested rates were excessive. The court rejected those arguments, finding that the plaintiff had demonstrated the necessity of retaining out-of-district counsel with specialized experience in ERISA mental health and eating-disorder claims." [Dwyer v. UnitedHealthcare Insurance Co., No. 17-0439 (W.D. Tex. Jan. 21, 2026)] MORE >> |
