Where trial court grants a motion to quash service of summons due to lack of personal jurisdiction over a foreign D, court then has jurisdiction to rule on that D’s atty fees motion.

Because claim for attys fees arose directly from services rendered by law firm for foreign company in Cal., limited jurisdiction existed for resolution of the claim regardless of fact there was no jurisdiction over company in original action.
