Federal Judge Reduces Disability Claimant's Attorney Fee Award

BOSTON - A Massachusetts federal judge on June 28 reduced an award of attorney fees to a disability claimant after determining that a number of the hours billed by the claimant's attorney are not compensable because the hours were related to alleged misrepresentations made by the claimant's attorney (Diahann L. Gross v. Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, No. 09-11678, D. Mass., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 107918).
