Fink v. Moreno, Becerra & Guerrero
In this appeal, plaintiff David Fink (plaintiff) challenges an award of attorneys fees made in favor of defendants Moreno, Becerra & Guerrero, Inc., Moreno, Becerra, Guerrero & Casillas, Inc., Moreno, Becerra & Casillas, Inc., Danilo J. Becerra, Gregory W. Moreno and Michael A Guerrero (defendants). The award of fees was made because the defendants are the prevailing parties in this suit,[1]the suit is based in part on a cause of action for breach of contract, and there is a provision in the contract for an award of fees to the prevailing party in a suit brought to enforce the contract. The contract is a retainer agreement for legal representation, plaintiff is the client, and the defendants are the attorneys he hired to represent him. The several issues raised by plaintiff in this appeal are without merit because they are not supported by the law governing awards of attorneys fees, or because the appellate record does not support plaintiffs contentions. Court therefore affirm the order for fees and costs.
