Robinson v. Chang CA2/5
Plaintiff Stephen P. Robinson appeals from a judgment and costs orders. Named as defendants are: Donald E. Cooper; Kevin Chang, Jayne Eun Mee Chang, and Brandon Min Hyuk Chang (collectively the Changs); and Rick and Margaret Jesmok (the Jesmoks). Uniti Bank is also a respondent in this appeal. Plaintiff and Cooper are attorneys who represented the Changs in a lawsuit. Following a settlement of that lawsuit, a dispute occurred between plaintiff and Cooper and the Changs as to how much plaintiff was owed pursuant to a contingency fee agreement. Namely, there was a question as to which one of two contingency fee agreements controlled. There was also a dispute as to what percentage of the attorney fees were owed to plaintiff. The Jesmoks and Uniti Bank separately had judgment liens on the Changs’ settlement amount. After a trial, the court found the agreement asserted by Cooper and the Changs controlled.
