Description
Narendra and Bela Desai appeal the district courts decision to award attorneys fees to their former attorneys, The Law Offices of Conrado Joe Sayas, Jr. ("Sayas") and Quisenberry & Barbanel, LLP ("Q&B"). Sayas and Q&B jointly represented the Desais in an insurance bad faith action. The Desais were unhappy with the outcome and discharged the two law firms. The firms then hired each other to litigate against the Desais in order to recover the contingent fee due under the initial client retainer agreement. The district court awarded each firm attorneys fees to cover the costs of litigating the underlying fee dispute against the Desais. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.
