1 2007, where my practice chiefly involved employment law and litigation, including
2 defense of discrimination and harassment claims.
3 4, I was personally involved in the representation of Camelback Toyota- in this
4 matter between January 2005 and December 3], 2007, and I am familiar with the time and
5 etfcrt expended by the attorneys on behalf of Camelback Toyota. I also am familiar with
6 the usual and customary fees that private attorneys of comparable skill, ability, and
Y reputation in the Phoenix area charged their paying clients for legal work of similar
8 sophistication and complexity.
9 5. I have reviewed the Affidavit of Stephanie K. Ostecn and itemized
10 Statement of Fees related to the representation of Camelback Toyota in the above-
11 captioned matter and submitted by Camelback Toyota with its Memorandum of Point and
12 Authorities in Support of its Motion for Attomeys’ Fees Ineurred In Defense of Claims.
13 In my opinion, the services set forth in the Itemized Statement were necessarily expended
14 in this matter and the fees sought by Camelback Toyota are reasonable and within the
15 range of prevailing market rates charged for legal services of the same type by lawyers
16 and firms in the Phoenix area, considering level of experience, nature of practice, and type
1? of work involved.
18 Further Afliant sayeth not.
