A woman who was fired from her job at Amazon took the company to court in 2018 in Santa Ana, California and was awarded by the jury $309,500. Her attorneys requested $3.46 million in fees but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Linfield apparently thought the amount excessive and reduced their compensation to a paltry $2.7 million. The article doesn't enumerate the number of billable hours presented by the attorneys in the case or the billing rate.

It might be of interest to note that in the span of about four years in which the case was decided, 35,064 hours elapsed, meaning that for each of those hours the legal firm was awarded a little over $77. It's unlikely that the legalists were engaged in the pursuit of the case on a 24/7 basis but who knows?
