Allen v. Fulton
Defendant David Fulton appeals from an award of costs and attorney fees to plaintiff Jess L. Allen totaling $217,422 against Fulton and his company, Kart Saver, Inc., jointly and severally. Fulton contends the award of $212,473 in attorney fees was unreasonable because the court failed to: (1) state the reasons for the award; (2) acknowledge the only basis for the award was the personal guarantee which is a contract; (3) distinguish between legal, paralegal and clerical work; (4) issue an award that was proportional and reasonable to the liability sustained; and (5) apportion the award. As Court explain, Fulton has failed to carry his burden to show the attorney fee award was unreasonable.
