Probably not. This wasn't a class action or a case where statutory attorney's fees applied. It was probably a straight contingency in which case the attorneys fees would be roughly 30-40% of whatever they recover depending on what the fee agreement says and any contingency caps that may apply to this particular type of case in Federal Court in California. If EA appeals and wins, the attorneys could literally end up with nothing. Generally attorney fee agreements only make the client responsible for the costs if the other side wins, but that is just an at-cost reimbursement for filing fees, court and deposition reporter costs, postage, photo copies, etc...The client wouldn't be responsible for paying anything to his attorneys if they lose.
