Hoey v. Reiffin
Defendants Martin Gardner Reiffin and Suzanne Reiffin appeal in propria persona from the judgment for plaintiff, attorney Beverly M. Hoey who also appears in propria persona. Hoey sued to collect fees for preparing trusts for the Reiffins’ property. The Reiffins mainly reargue the evidence, claiming that it should have led to a lower fee award. But “the burden [an appellant] must bear in seeking to upset the trial court’s determination of reasonable attorney fees is substantial†(Shannon v. Northern Counties Title Ins. Co. (1969) 270 Cal.App.2d 686, 688), and the Reiffins do not carry that burden with their factual arguments. The Reiffins’ legal arguments also lack merit. We affirm.
