Westside Investments v. Dolberry CA2/7
Renee L. Dolberry and Tim Dolberry appeal the postjudgment order awarding Westside Investments, Inc., doing business as Marina Del Rey Toyota (MDR Toyota), $102,036.50 in attorney fees against Renee Dolberry pursuant to an attorney fee provision in Renee Dolberry’s automobile lease agreement. The Dolberrys contend (1) the court erred in failing to apportion and limit attorney fees to those incurred in connection with Westside’s contract claim against Renee Dolberry; (2) Westside is precluded from recovering attorney fees because the named partner of its counsel is also a majority shareholder in Westside; and (3) the attorney fee order is wholly disproportionate to, and patently unreasonable in light of, the $13,479.41 net damages awarded. We dismiss Tim Dolberry’s appeal for lack of standing. As to Renee Dolberry, we affirm the judgment.
