In A Prior Jury Retrial, She Was Awarded $14 Million.
As reported recently by The Orange County Register, a UC hematologist, Dr. Lauren Pinter-Brown, was awarded over $3.9 million in attorney’s fees, as against the UC Regents on December 19, 2024, by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge after she won a $14 million jury verdict after 8 years of litigation, including an earlier appellate reversal and a jury retrial. She sued for being forced out from her job based on gender discrimination. We presume the fee award was based on FEHA’s fee-shifting statute.
