Hilal v. Williams (In Re Hilal)
Hilal v. Williams (In Re Hilal)
Opinion
Appellant Zouhair “Danny” Hilal appeals from the district court’s order af *996 firming a bankruptcy court’s approval of a contingency fee arrangement with Porter & Hedges, a law firm that Chapter 11 Trustee Randy Williams retained as special litigation counsel pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 328(a). The bankruptcy court approved the arrangement, determining that it was in the best interest of the bankruptcy estate and its creditors, that the contingency fee of four percent of the “gross value of any settlement or recovery” was reasonable, and that the law firm represented no adverse interests to the estate.
Having reviewed the briefs and pertinent parts of the record, we affirm the judgment essentially for the reasons that the district court provided in affirming the bankruptcy court.
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
