His Attorneys Are Seeking a $1 Million Lodestar Plus a Multiplier.
According to a May 14, 2009 article by Joseph Serna in the Daily Pilot, civil attorneys representing Newport Beach police Sgt. Neil Harvey, who obtained a favorable civil rights award of $1.2 million from a jury earlier this year, will be moving for $2.14 million in fees from the City of Newport Beach, CA sometime in June 2009. The fees totaled more than $1 million, but they are seeking twice that based on a multiplier request.
So, stay tuned in June 2009, when we report back on how he did on the motion.
