Description
The plaintiffs, Scott Alan and Kimberly Joy Little, and their attorney, Stephen H. Cook, appeal two district court orders requiring Cook to pay attorney fees of $7,500 and $4,235.37 to the defendant, Robert Fellman, pursuant to § 13-17-101, et seq., C.R.S. (1987 Repl. Vol. 6A). The fees were awarded on the grounds that the plaintiffs' claims against Fellman lacked substantial justification. We affirm the award of $7,500 for Fellman's attorney fees incurred in defending plaintiffs' claims against him. However, we reverse the award of $4,235.37, and we remand to the trial court for an evidentiary hearing to determine whether Cook's defense of the motion for attorney fees lacked substantial justification and, if so, on the amount and reasonableness of the fees awarded in the second order.
