PRO PER OBTAINS AWARD OF LEGAL FEES IN ORANGE COUNTY

Today one of my clients telephoned me to advise that he received his order in a trust litigation action. The client found accounts that had not been provided in previous filings and brought a pro per a petition to compel trust accounting in Orange County Superior Court.

After a couple of telephonic hearings and the filing of subsequent declarations and a settlement conference statement, the order arrived today. The Judge awarded the pro per party sanctions of $800.00 against the trustee's attorney pursuant to a request for reimbursement of legal document assistant fees.

I am feeling pretty good today -- so is the client.

Merry Christmas!

Sure would like to cite this case for argument in favor of Legal Document Assistant fees.
