LOS ANGELES—A Santa Ana woman who won more than $300,000 after a jury found she was targeted for disparate treatment in her human resources job at Amazon has been awarded more than $2 million in attorneys fees.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Linfield on April 8 granted $2.47 million in attorneys’ fees to Thu Nguyet Thi “Nicki” Tran. On Oct. 21, a jury that heard trial of her lawsuit found that the 34-year-old woman was subjected to wrongful termination, retaliation, failure to engage in the interactive process, and a violation of the California Family Rights Act and awarded her about $309,500.
