Law Offices of Russell A. Kelm v. Selby

{¶ 1} Defendant-appellant/cross-appellee, Kenneth W. Selby, and plaintiff-appellee/cross-appellant, Law Offices of Russell A. Kelm ("the Kelm firm" or "the firm"), appeal from a judgment of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas issued on November 30, 2015. Selby appeals the trial court's finding in favor of the Kelm firm on its claim for attorney fees. The Kelm firm appeals the trial court's award of attorney fees based on quantum meruit rather than a contingent fee. Because we find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion, we affirm its decision as to both parties.
