San Francisco Superior Court Judge Katherine Feinstein granted the firm’s motion for attorneys’ fees brought on behalf of their clients in a longstanding probate dispute between the heirs to the estate of Arnold Gridley.  Judge Feinstein’s fee award in the amount of $626,160 comes after the firm’s decisive victory following a multi-week court trial held last Summer.  In reaching its decision, the court noted that “the stakes in this case were huge” and that “given the nature, scope and tenor of this trial, Petitioners’ decision to retain experienced litigation counsel was both necessary and reasonable.” She found that the amount of fees sought was appropriate, noting that the litigation was “effectively and efficiently managed.”
