California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from CT Glendale, LLC v. Liu, B241445 (Cal. App. 2013):
A trial court order awarding attorney fees is reviewed using the abuse of discretion standard. (Cruz v. Ayromloo (2007) 155 Cal.App.4th 1270, 1274.) "'In reviewing an award of attorney fees, the amount awarded by the trial court will not be set aside absent an affirmative showing of abuse of discretion in that the award is "manifestly excessive in the circumstances."'"
