Am I reading this right that the Michigan court held that an attorneys' fees award could not be reduced because it's PRO BONO??? So "PRO BONO" isn't really pro bono.
There's nothing wrong with doing pro bono but if it is real pro bono, there's no fee at the end. That's called a contingency case. True pro bono is that which will not result in a fee award no matter what.
