The U.S. Department of Labor has agreed to pay $1.5 million in attorney fees to a Corpus Christi company and its owner after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit sanctioned the federal government for bad faith and ruled that it owed fees to the company.
The wage and hour division of the U.S. Department of Labor will pay the money to Gate Guard Services and owner Bert Steindorf by Sept. 30, according to a Sept. 17 settlement and release agreement between the government and Gate Guard and Steindorf. The money is for attorney fees, expenses and costs.
