In a tentative order Thursday, Orange County Superior Court Judge Kirk Nakamura ordered attorneys David Yeremian and Jason Rothman to each pay $10,000 within 10 days. At issue was a declaration submitted in support of attorney fees stating that Rothman worked 357 hours, but added, “I actually worked 185.38 so the above hours are exaggerated to help us meet the lodestar but not seeming too far out of line.”
