The plaintiffs successfully moved to set aside a dismissal order that resulted from their former lawyer's (Mr. Chang) negligence, including failure to attend court, respond to motions, and communicate with clients.
This decision addresses the costs of that motion and previous costs awarded against the plaintiffs, which they sought to recover from Mr. Chang and his firm, Bougadis Chang LLP.
The court found Mr. Chang's conduct warranted a costs award against him and his firm, fixing costs at $55,658.40 for the plaintiffs and $3,000 for defendant Ping Lee, both payable by Mr. Chang and Bougadis Chang LLP.
