ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Legal and professional costs in the Diocese of Gallup’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy case exceeded $3.5 million through Dec. 31, new filings in the case show.
An Arizona law firm representing the diocese, Quarles & Brady LLP of Tucson, is seeking fees and expenses totaling $1,994,521, according to a disclosure statement filed this month.
A Los Angeles firm, Pachulski, Stang, Ziehl & Jones LLP, is seeking payment for $1,060,274 in fees and expenses. The firm represents 57 alleged victims of sexual abuse by priests who have filed claims in the case.
Most legal costs will remain unpaid until a reorganization plan has been approved by presiding U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David T. Thuma.
