2125 REVIEW DENIED In awarding attorney fees permitted by statute to a successful litigant, the "lodestar" method requires the court to determine the number of hours reasonably spent by the litigant's attorney; so a trial court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to award fees incurred after the litigant had received and rejected an offer that was very similar to the judgment he eventually obtained.CitationMEISTER v REGENTS (Lodestar) 67 CA4 437 [See: Serrano v Priest 20 C3 25; Serrano v Unruh 32 C3 621; Flannery v CHP 61 CA4 629, T/AT 3/98]
