The awards were separate, one for damages and another for services rendered by her legal team. She could have won the damages and received nothing for the rest, in which case she would be net negative 500k or so.
It doesn't look like an ambulance chaser case where the she agreed to give the lawyers 2/3 of the damages. Does go to show you how crazy expensive real litigation is.
From the document her team posted:
> She is awarded the relief requested in her Post-Hearing Brief, including her damages in the amount of $324,000 plus attorney fees, litigation expenses, and costs in the amount of $805,313.45 which, though high, reflects the high quality of legal work done in this case.
