4600 REVIEW DENIED If an award of attorney fees is appropriate, the law does not mandate any particular relationship between compensatory damages and fees; in a matter in which the adjudication resulted in significant public benefit a trial court’s award of $1 million in attorney fees after plaintiffs’ recovery of $30,000 in compensatory damages was not an abuse of discretion.CitationHARMAN v CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO (Disproportionate Fees) 158 CA4 407 [See: 42 USC 1983, 1988; Cruz v ayromloo 155 CA4 1270, P/AT 11/07; Harman v City of SF 136 CA4 1279, P/AT 11/07; Hensley v Eckerhart 461 US 424; PLCM v Drexler 22 C4 1084, T/AT 6/00]
