A fee hearing, all digitally recorded, was held on January 22 and 26, 2007. The hearing consisted solely of testimony from one of respondent’s attorneys, Todd V Lamb, Esq., a junior partner at the Cozen O’Conner law firm. The court credits his testimony fully. Lamb testified that he was respondent’s primary attorney for the 2005 and 2006 holdover proceedings. Menachem J. Kastner, Esq., a senior partner at Cozen O’Conner, assisted him in both proceedings. Kastner did not appear at the fee hearing; Lamb testified about Kastner’s experience and introduced into evidence billing statements detailing their work in the two holdover proceedings up to the day before the fee hearing. The fees sought include his and Kastner’s work in the two holdover proceedings, including expenses, appellate work, and the attorney fees they billed to get attorney fees.
