As reported in he January 23, 2014 edition of The Orange County Register, well-known trial attorney Daniel J. Callahan of Callahan & Blaine, who headed a $30 million earlier settlement for carriers obtained from Freedom (together with significant fees) in Orange County Superior Court, has won a $10 million judgment against U-T San Diego, a newspapers whose carriers filed a class action lawsuit claiming they were wrongly classified as independent contractors rather than employees for wage/hour claims. On December, a San Diego superior court judge rules that the U-T carriers were employees, awarding them just under $5 million. The article later reports that Mr. Callahan’s firm received $6.2 million in attorney’s fees, $1.3 million which came the carriers’ award.
