How to Plan, Prepare, and Handle Attorney Fee Motions: Procedures, Problems, and Factors in Attorney Fee Awards

This book discusses all aspects of attorney’s fees motions in 37 chapters, analyzing and explaining each step, practice, and procedure in the planning, preparation and handling of attorney fee motions in and out of the courtroom. Every chapter supplements every other chapter, guiding the reader through the process of achieving a successful result. With over 600 footnotes to court cases, statutes and other authorities, and over two dozen checklists, the book is divided into two parts, a survey of American law on attorney fees and a guide to lawyers on attorney’s fee motions with checklists, tips, and advice. Each section and every chapter work together, because no motion for attorney’s fees is decided on a single aspect of the many issues involved. Because a successful attorney’s fee motion is usually presented and opposed in several primary procedures, approaches, and arguments, this book explains and helps you prepare for them in advance. To quickly find the right answer to specific questions, there is a detailed issue oriented table of contents and a lengthy table of authorities. Each citation to supporting authority was researched by the author and no footnote or content comes from any artificial intelligence source. It does not matter how big or small your law firm may be, whether you have ever filed a fee motion or not, this book will show you how to do it right. Authored by a national expert on attorney fee issues who has personally handled and assisted in over 200 successful attorney fee motions nationwide in federal courts, state courts, and arbitrations.
