Joao Junior v. Sharon Graham

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that a trial court was not required to accept a contingent fee agreement as the sole basis for awarding attorney fees under OCGA § 9-11-68. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision because it had the authority to weigh the evidence and reject Junior's reliance on his contract when no reasonable basis for the award was found.
