A fee dispute between actor Bill Cosby and a Los Angeles law firm shows the firm billed him about US$1 million a month in the run-up to his first sex assault trial.
The 81-year-old Cosby is challenging a California arbitration award that trims the $9 million bill from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart and Sullivan to below $7 million.
The arbitration panel cut the bill by 25 per cent, but found its lawyer rates of about $500 to $1,000 an hour reasonable for its share of pretrial work on the criminal case and nine civil cases filed around the country.Cosby is serving a three- to 10-year prison term in Pennsylvania after a 2018 retrial.
