Romero v. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan CA2/3
Appellant Nathaniel Friedman appeals from an order granting Friedman’s petition for an award of attorney fees made in connection with the approval of his minor client’s compromise of a medical malpractice claim. According to Friedman, the trial court committed legal error when it applied a preempted local rule to reduce the amount of attorney fees awarded from the requested 33.33 percent of the minor’s recovery to 25 percent. Because the record does not support Friedman’s assertion that the trial court applied the wrong standard or otherwise abused its discretion in declining to designate a greater share of the minor’s settlement award as attorney fees, we reject his claim.
