California Court of Appeal

In an appeal from a judgment of the trial court confirming an arbitration award and awarding attorney's fees in an attorney-client fee dispute, judgment is affirmed where the court correctly found that plaintiff-law firm was obligated to pay counsel who initially represented the client and because an attorney-client relationship existed between the firm and such counsel, and that both parties had distinct interests.
