It's one thing to have a $49 million fee request rejected. It's another to have a federal judge call your arguments "unethical" and "dishonorable," not to mention "flawed" and "cynical." That's what happened to Los Angeles-based Hennigan, Mercer & Bennett when U.S. District Judge Gary Taylor of California issued his final Orange County bankruptcy ruling giving the firm an extra $3 million rather than the $48.7 million requested.

LOS ANGELES — It’s one thing to have a $49 million fee request rejected. It’s another to have a federal judge call your arguments “unethical” and “dishonorable,” not to mention “flawed” and “cynical.”
That’s what happened to Los Angeles-based Hennigan, Mercer & Bennett when U.S. District Judge Gary Taylor of Santa Ana issued his final Orange County bankruptcy ruling last week that gave the firm an extra $3 million rather than the $48.7 million requested.
