Judge Awards $450k More to Attorneys Already Paid $1.6 Million for Class Action vs Southwest over Flight Drink Vouchers
After beating back an appeal of the settlement agreement that granted them more than $1.6 million in fees, the attorneys who represented a group of people who brought a class action against Southwest Airlines for refusing to honor drink vouchers will not get all the additional fees they requested for their work on the appeal.
But after a Chicago federal judge signed off on an increase in fees, they will still get much more than peanuts.
