Hal Gerber v. Virginia Starr Segal

This is the second appeal in an action to collect attorney’s fees. The plaintiff attorney represented the defendant in her divorce action, which lasted from 1996 to 1999. He billed the defendant approximately $100,000 for his services. Over the course of the divorce action, the defendant paid
the plaintiff about $61,000, and still owed a balance of about $39,000. The attorney filed this lawsuit to recover the balance. After a two-day trial, the trial court concluded that the plaintiff attorney’s fees were fair and reasonable, and that the defendant owed the plaintiff the fees claimed. The
defendant now appeals that decision. We affirm.
