2992 The adjusted lodestar method is appropriate in fixing attorney fees to be awarded under the SLAPP statute; however, factors considered in establishing the lodestar rate should not be considered again in adjusting that rate, the lodestar rate should not be adjusted for punitive purposes, and no adjustment for contingent fee risks should be applied to proceedings in which there is no possibility that the attorney will not be paid.CitationKETCHUM v MOSES (SLAPP Lodestar) 24 C4 1122 [See: CCP 425.16; Serrano v Priest 20 C3 25; Rader v Thrasher 57 C2 244; PLCM v Drexler 22 C4 1084, T/AT 6/00]
