Now, you can have practical attorney fee claim litigation forms and a quick read of the fundamental law, tips, plus also having the tactics that seasoned attorney fee award claim lawyers have been using for years. In fact, Attorney Fee Awards: a handbook for attorneys is so compact and to the point, with so many useful tips and forms, that even experienced attorneys will think you a seasoned fee award litigator.

This is a short 190 page handbook--- about half of those pages are forms. That's what most busy attorneys want. This is NOT a multi-volume, multi-hundred dollar, textbook with comprehensive discussion of all the law and all the local variations and all the evidence or procedural requirements of every state and federal court. This IS a quick read that gets you started in the right direction, so that you as an attorney can find your way efficiently. It gives you the law tactics and forms that they did  not give you in law school.

Law school courses omit telling you the practical tactics and practical law you need to know to recover, and defend against, attorney fees claims and awards. That was a big omission in your law school education for today's law practice. (Not your fault; it's just that law schools don't know that in today's legal world,  attorney fees are important!)

On the plaintiff's side, there are lots of chances for having the adversary pay your attorney fee, and to prove the full extent of a reasonable attorney fee.  It surely makes your client happy, and makes more cases pay well. 

On the defense side, the average defense lawyer's failure to know how to defeat the attorney fee award can lead to an upset client. 

On both sides of the case, you can often break open a deadlocked settlement negotiation by having the "we can prove the amount of the attorney fee award" card to play.

At the start of the case, before it is too late, on either side of the case, you must know the tips and tactics for proving or disproving attorney fees  We cannot overemphasize ---  counsel on both sides each need to have a compact handbook - Attorney Fee Awards: a handbook for attorneys.

Dear Fellow Attorney,

The fact is, most attorneys don't get adequate reasonable attorney fee's awards --- or don't defeat fee awards when they are on the defense  --- for one simple reason:

They don't know the best practices and tactics on attorney fee awards.

Lawyers do not normally learn the evidence law, procedural law of attorney fee awards in law school. And lawyers do not take a law school course on the tactics of trial to determine a "reasonable attorney fee."

Yet lawyers blithely assume (wrongly) that they know the law on the subject and that they know how to prosecute or defend a request for an attorney fee.  That means that when lawyers do a direct or cross-exam of an attorney fee expert, most lawyers don't do it right. They do not ask the right questions, in depositions or trial, of either the adverse expert witness, or their own expert witness. With the expert witness question outlines in Attorney Fee Awards: a handbook for attorneys, you will not be one of those lawyers.

Obviously, counsel seeking an award need the law, tactics, and forms in this eBook. Moreover, on the other side of the table, if you are on the defense against a request for an attorney's fee award, this compact information tells you the critical points to bear down on in discovery and trial, to save your client paying a fee that may be more than the amount in dispute in the main case. 

I really like getting money and getting paid. Knowing more about fee awards than most other attorneys helped me make my client's happy.  Happy clients build your law business, whether on the plaintiff's side or on the insurance defense side. While asking for fee awards for my clients, for 35 years, in a successful five state litigation practice, I developed my fee award notes for all the other lawyers in the office. 

Now I've put my attorney fee award notes into a handbook that is compact, blunt, and to the point.  It's a two to four hour read that tells you what you would hear you would get if you asked an experienced fee award litigator in your firm to tell you what you need to know to handle a fee award request in the next case on your desk. 

Before I had the tactics, legal notes, and forms of the Attorney Fee Award handbook, I found myself (on more occasions that I'd like to admit) working well past the time everyone else had left the office,  pulling together what I needed to do to prove or defeat a claim for attorney fees - and how to do it!  But after I had my "quick read" attorney fee award handbook, I knew what I was doing, and when to do it! I was able to use my position on attorney fees to hammer the other side during settlement and return to the office with a happy client.

All The Best,

Leonard Bucklin, Civil Trial Attorney, Author of this eBook
