We thank an April 5, 2012 article in the Las Vegas Sun for reporting that the Nevada Supreme Court recently affirmed a district judge’s cutting in half a fees/costs request in favor of two attorneys–from the $130,000 request to an actual award of $63,466–who obtained a $238,000 settlement for a brain-dead young girl (with a good chunk of the proceeds going to Medicaid). This state supreme court found this cutting back of the request was proper given that the young girl would receive less than the two attorneys and there had been some glitches in the case requiring attorneys to spend more time than necessary. The supreme court did remand the matter back to the state district court for purposes of determining how the $68,466 should be divided between the two attorneys.
