FACTS:

1.In 2019, former real estate investor/television host Ariel Maureen ("Mo") Gull was anxious to re-establish herself in the real estate industry ("Make Ariel Great Again!"), after devastating financial losses in the 2008-2009 mortgage meltdown and a contentious, expensive divorce from her spouse and real estate business partner, former electrical contractor Gig A. Watts.The end of the second decade of the 21^st Century was disastrous for Mo (not to mention the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought almost all entertainment business to a standstill).Ariel had lost her syndicated TV real estate show ("Flipping Alhambra") and most of her assets.

2.Looking for a spectacular property to rehabilitate and spruce up with minor construction ("Build that wall!"), Ariel hoped that she could film the process and market another show to networks that had lost faith in her real estate abilities.("Honey, you couldn't get a show flipping burgers, much less houses! The only kind of flip you're going to get is a flip off!" exclaimed one network executive.)

3.Undeterred by the negativity, Ariel continued to search for the "perfect" property ("Where am I going to have to look ... under the sea?" she fretted.) and, after weeks of scouring the neighborhood, located one with a spectacular view of the scenic Alhambra arch.

4.Unfortunately for Ariel, that property was being sold by Ursula Deep, a witchy and shady character who seemed to have her tentacles in all sorts of properties.

5.Undaunted, Ariel refused to quit; she purchased the property from Ursula for $500,000 - half of which she had raised from the equity from sale of her own condo, and half of which she had borrowed from her father, Don "King" Triton.

6.Eager to own the property and not have Ursula back out of the deal, Ariel rushed though the escrow and paid little attention to the paperwork.

7.Ariel hired noted torts attorney Davey Jones to help her sue Ursula and Scuttle, to win ownership of the Alhambra property.

8.In that lawsuit, the Judge granted Scuttle's Motion for Summary Judgment, ordering Scuttle dismissed, and Ariel liable to Scuttle (statutorily) for $50,000 in damages and $100,000 in attorney's fees.

9.Ariel received a judgment against Ursula for a full refund of the $500,000 she had paid to purchase the Alhambra property.

10. However, Ariel already had paid Attorney Jones $350,000 in attorney's fees for representing her in the litigation over the Alhambra property.

11.Short of cash and still needing to find another property to resurrect her real estate career, Ariel, through Attorney Jones, has filed a motion to recover from Ursula all of the attorneys' fees Ariel paid (and still owes) for this litigation.

Question -

Under California law, would Ariel be legally entitled to collect as reimbursement from Ursula all the money she paid or will pay to her attorney ($350,000) and to Scuttle as his attorney's fees ($100,000) - $450,000 total - in this lawsuit?

If so, (a) explain what the Court first must declare that Ariel is in the case for Ariel to be entitled to collect from Ursula this full reimbursement for the attorney's fees in this civil lawsuit; (b) specify and explain the two legal alternatives that would give Ariel a right to reimbursement for the attorney's fees in this lawsuit; and (c) being certain to cite specific Background Facts and Additional Facts to support your conclusion, generally describe how the Court sets the amount for the award of these fees AND explain why the Court would award to Ariel the entire $450,000 in attorneys' fees.

Or, if not, (a) explain what the Court first must declare that Ariel is in the case for Ariel to be entitled to collect from Ursula this full reimbursement for the attorney's fees in this civil lawsuit; (b) specify and explain the two legal alternatives that would give Ariel a right to reimbursement for the attorney's fees in this lawsuit; and (c) being certain to cite specific Background Facts and Additional Facts to support your conclusion, generally describe how the Court sets the amount for the award of these fees AND explain what amount, if any, the Court would award to Ariel and why.
