Date: February 24th, 2026 1:45 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) We won today. They said I'm basically like Clarence Darrow and Gerry Spence, so we should get biglol fees at a minimum.
Edit: This is a community account btw, and I want to express my gratitude to the account owner who's letting me use it for the day. |

Date: February 24th, 2026 1:51 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) Not all that much. Maybe end up with $4-5M in fees on remand. But we have another case behind it where we're 8,000 hours in, so it'll be good for that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837972&forum_id=2Elisa#49691809) |

Date: February 24th, 2026 2:42 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Congrats! What was the other side's argument? That small firm lawyers should get fees adjusted downward accordingly?
Did you have instances of clients paying you hourly rates (not contingency) similar to biglaw to show that the market says you're worth it? |
|
Date: February 24th, 2026 3:01 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) Yeah that was the argument of both the other side and the dc judge. But CA9 was like, nah this guy is like Darrow and Spence.
As to the second question … *sucks teeth* THATS IRRELEVANT!! |

Date: February 24th, 2026 3:05 PM Author: Nazca Redlines ljl 180
Did the other side make that second point--anyone can say they're worth biglaw rates. But if clients' aren't hiring you at biglaw rates, you ain't actually worth biglaw rates? What did 9th C say about that? |
|
Date: February 24th, 2026 3:38 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband (oppose bitchbois) There’s already plenty of CA9 precedent (implied by SCOTUS’s opinion in 1988 fees cases) holding that the actual rates charged aren’t relevant. I don’t think it even came up again in the appellate stage of this case. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837972&forum_id=2Elisa#49692135) |
