Almost a year after West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw announced a multimillion-dollar settlement with two major credit card companies, a judge has approved almost $4 million in attorneys' fees for the lawyers appointed by McGraw to handle the massive case.
In an opinion released Dec. 29, Circuit Judge Ron Wilson wrote that the attorneys provided a valuable service to the citizens of West Virginia in securing $12.2 million from MasterCard and Visa.
