If oral argument is requested, it will be heard in Department 32 by the Honorable Trisha J. Hirashima.
Petition for Approval of Minor’s Compromise of Claim
Petitioner Frank Louis Masera seeks to compromise the claim of minor Milan Masera. Petitioner requests the court approve attorneys’ fees to petitioner’s counsel in the amount of $33,333.33, which is 1/3 of the minor’s gross recovery. The court typically does not approve attorneys’ fees for a petition for approval of minor’s compromise above 1⁄4 of the gross settlement amount absent extraordinary circumstances. The petition is denied without prejudice. If oral argument is requested, the appearance of the minor at the hearing is waived.
