The law firm that pursued a nearly decade-long class-action fraud lawsuit on behalf of investors against Fannie Mae and their former auditor, KPMG LLP, until its settlement in May say they are entitled to a piece of the $153 million payout, plus expenses. In papers recently filed with the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia, the firm of Markovits, Stock & DeMarco of Cincinnati is seeking attorneys’ fees in the amount of $29.1 million or 22 percent of the settlement amount, plus $15.3 million in “out of pocket” expenses incurred in the nine years of pursuing the class action.
