A federal district court in Texas has awarded over $243,000 in attorney's fees to a plaintiff in a case under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) who had achieved “some success on the merits” – but it deducted 10 percent of the requested amount because the plaintiff's attorney had used block billing.
