A Rochester law firm that represented Tuxedo Junction managers in a “moderately complex” Fair Labor Standards Act class action has been awarded $73,427 in fees and costs, representing about 37 percent of the $200,000 settlement.
Western District Judge Elizabeth Wolford said in a July 25 order that the firm of Thomas & Solomon devoted about 1,100 hours to the contingency case, which at its standard hourly rate would have resulted in fees of about $280,000. She approved fees of $66,660, plus $6,767 in litigation costs and $9,997 in administrative costs.
