The firm’s client was a painting contractor that was awarded a contract to repaint a commercial building. Upon completion of the work, the owner refused to pay the firm’s client based on a number of alleged defects in performance. The firm proceeded to trial and successfully obtained a verdict in favor of its client for the full value of its client’s services, as well as a substantial attorneys’ fee award. The owner appealed the attorneys’ fee award and the firm successfully briefed and argued the appeal, which resulted in the upholding of the trial court’s ruling and the subsequent granting of additional attorneys’ fees related to the appeal.
