AKG congratulates Bernard Alexander and Tracy Fehr on their recent appellate victory: On March 27, 2014, Bernard Alexander and Tracy Fehr prevailed on consolidated appeals in Taylor v. Long Beach Memorial Medical Center (Case No. 244341; 2014 WL 1255314). Tracy Fehr was primarily responsible for briefing this appeal, with contributions by trial counsel Bernard Alexander and Twila White of the Law Office of Twila S. White. Bernard Alexander supervised the appeal and handled oral argument. The Second District Court of Appeal opinion affirmed the jury verdict of $287,400 in favor of Plaintiff Rashawna Taylor, a single mother, low income earner who was subjected to subtle forms of discrimination, but not termination; affirmed costs awarded to Plaintiff of just under $90,000; and reversed the trial court based on an abuse of discretion, in awarding an unreasonably low prevailing attorney fee award. The attorney fee award was returned to the trial court for recalculation.
