What constitutes reasonable attorney's fees?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Walters v. Marler, 147 Cal.Rptr. 655, 83 Cal.App.3d 1 (Cal. App. 1978):
63] The determination of what constitutes reasonable attorney's fees is committed to the sound discretion of the trial court. An appellate court will interfere with that determination only where there has been a manifest abuse of discretion. (Shannon v. Northern Counties Title Ins. Co., supra, 270 Cal.App.2d 686 at p. 688, 76 Cal.Rptr. 7.)
