"Pearson said that he wants only $2 million in damages for himself — for his mental anguish and inconvenience — plus $500,000 in attorney's fees for representing himself. Anything more that Bartnoff might award him would go into a fund "to educate people of their rights under the Consumer Protection Act," he said."

I would like to know why he's asking for attorney's fees for representing himself. Is he charging himself $500,000? If not, how can that be considered an attorney fee?
