In the Matter of JAMES GAFFNEY et al., Respondents, v. VILLAGE OF MAMARONECK et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from with one bill of costs to the petitioners.

"In determining reasonable compensation for an attorney, a court will consider the following factors: `time and labor required, the difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill required to handle the problems presented; the lawyer's experience, ability and reputation; the amount involved and benefit resulting to the client from the services; the customary fee charged by the Bar for similar services; the contingency or certainty of compensation; the results obtained; and the responsibility involved'" ( Steiger v. Dweck, 305 AD2d 475, 476 , quoting Matter of Freeman, 34 NY2d 1, 9). The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in fixing the compensation to be paid to the petitioners' counsel at the rate of $250 per hour.

The appellants' remaining contention is without merit.
