Case Details

In reversing the trial court’s award of attorney’s fees, attorneys of Ashwell & Ashwell, PLLC set aside a six-figure sum that resulted in a net positive award for their client on remand. This case set a legal precedent that for attorney’s fees to be recoverable, the general assembly must clearly, precisely and unambiguously declare its intention to do so, prompting legislative action.
