California Court of Appeal

In a dispute involving attorney's fees, trial court judgment is reversed where: 1) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in considering defendant's financial condition in setting the amount of attorney's fees; and 2) the statute requires the amount of fees to be reasonable, and the trial court failed to exercise its discretion and consider all the other necessary circumstances in setting the amount of attorney's fees to be awarded to the prevailing party.
