Velez v. Kohl Building Maintenance CA2/1
Defendant Kohl Building Maintenance, Inc. (Kohl) appeals from the trial court’s June 27, 2019, order awarding $141,165 in attorney fees in a California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) matter to plaintiff and prevailing party Gilberto Velez. Kohl raises two challenges to the fee award on appeal. First, Kohl argues that Velez should have filed his complaint as a limited civil matter. Because he did not do so, Kohl contends the trial court should have declined to award any attorney fees to Velez pursuant to Chavez v. City of Los Angeles (2010) 47 Cal.4th 970 (Chavez). Second, Kohl argues the amount of the fee award is inflated.
