Civil Procedure — wrongful debt collection — attorney fees
Susan M. Wilbrandt appeals a judgment ordering Chase Auto Finance Corporation to pay her lawyer, Gwendolyn Connolly, $107,470 in attorney fees because Wilbrandt was the prevailing party in this wrongful debt collection case. Wilbrandt argues that the circuit court misused its discretion in determining that the prevailing market rate for Connolly’s services was $300 per hour rather than the $425 per hour she sought. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
