They’re such a great deal for the public, you know:
An Oakland, Calif., attorney who blasted the University of California Regents for wasting taxpayer money during a seven-year lawsuit is asking for $5.4 million in fees and costs — 2 1/2 times what his client got.
Patricia Gillette of Heller Ehrman, representing the UC Regents, described attorney Gary Gwilliam’s request as “outrageous”: “Gary likes to talk about how much taxpayers’ dollars are being wasted by the lab, and then he has the audacity to ask for $5.4 million in his plaintiff’s case”. (Warren Lutz, The Recorder, Jul. 21).
