CCR §10844

Summary

Former applicant attorney George Almodovar and successor attorney Ola Moore disputed the division of a $12,000.00 attorney fee derived from a December 7, 2022 Order Approving Compromise and Release of $80,000.00. The WCJ found that the settlement resulted from both attorneys' work and split the fee equally between them. Moore petitioned for reconsideration, contending he should receive $10,000.00 of the $12,000.00 fee. Applying the factors in CCR section 10844 (responsibility assumed, care exercised, time involved, results obtained), the WCJ recommended denial, noting Almodovar originated the case and obtained the AME report while Moore bound defendants to the AME and secured settlement. The WCAB adopted and incorporated the WCJ's report and denied reconsideration.
