2-year church bankruptcy in Guam racks up $4.38M legal fees
While the Archdiocese of Agana has yet to compensate nearly 300 Guam clergy sex abuse survivors, it has already paid or been ordered to pay some $3.9 million of the $4.38 million in attorneys' and real estate professionals' fees and costs in its nearly two-year bankruptcy case.
These figures are based on a review of proposed, awarded and paid amounts contained in documents filed in the District Court of Guam in 2019 and 2020.
The numbers include recent fourth interim fee applications that the federal court will hear in January, amounting to about $480,601.
The fourth interim fee applications cover bills for services rendered only from Aug. 1 to Nov. 30, 2020.
