Attorney's Fees
By Sam K. Abdulaziz, Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman
This is a case where the plaintiffs argued that the trial court needed to explain its award of attorney’s fees to show that there was a reasonable basis for them. The plaintiffs also argued that the trial court did not award them enough attorney’s fees and costs against their former general contractor.
Tassajara Development Corporation (the contractor) entered into a written contract to become the general contractor for a residential construction for the plaintiffs Gorman & Cheng (husband and wife).
