Dear Fellow Attorney,

Attorney fee awards are available in more cases times than they taught us in law school.  Law school mostly skips past instruction on recovering/defending regarding attorney fees.  In today's law practice,  on the plaintiff's side, there's lots of chances for having the adversary pay your 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 insurer-client.  On both sides of the case, you can often break open a deadlocked settlement negotiation by having 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 need to know the tips and tactics for proving or disproving attorney fees  We cannot overemphasize this point ---  counsel on both sides each need to have a compact handbook, and each need to

• know the basics of attorney fee awards for that case,
• as soon as the case starts.

Before I had an attorney fee award handbook that I built out of legal research and tactics notes from a series of trials and settlements I worked on, I had found myself (on more occasions that I'd like to admit) working well into the wee hours of the morning pulling myself out of a hole that I could have avoided.  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 come back to the office with a exceptionally happy client.

 

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 had not read a compact handbook on attorney fee awards.

How would you feel if I could show you an inexpensive way to get compact information that prepares your way on fee award cases?  What if I could give you a "paint by numbers" approach to organizing a winning party's request for an attorney fee award?

Better yet, what if you had a question outline for the direct examination at trial of your expert witness on "a reasonable attorney fee." What if I added a deposition or trial outline for cross-examining the adverse expert on what is a reasonable attorney fee?

Most lawyers do not ask the right questions, in depositions or trial, of either the adverse expert witness, or their own expert witness, on a "reasonable attorney fee." That is why their client does not get the attorney fee award they should.  With these expert witness question outlines, you will not be one of those lawyers.

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. 

Whichever side of the counsel table you are on: you want to avoid mistakes and, better yet, be ahead of the opposition because of what you know, and what you do at the right time.

I really like getting money and getting paid. Knowing more about fee awards than most other attorneys helped me make client's happy.  Happy clients are the best way to build a practice, whether on the plaintiff's side or on the insurance defense side. While practicing for the last 35 years, in a successful five state litigation practice, I developed and refined my own notes for myself and 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-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. 

Typically, I see opposing counsel fumbling on attorney fee requests, no matter which side they are on, wasting their resources, irritating the court, and embarrassing themselves because they have no basic understanding of an important part of today's litigation.

But that doesn't have to be you.

What surprises most people is how far from
maximum efficiency they actually are!

Now, I'm giving you a quick read of the fundamental law, tips, and tactics that  seasoned attorney fee award litigation attorneys have been using for years.  In fact, my Attorney Fee Awards: a handbook for attorneys is so compact and to the point, with useful tips and forms, that even experienced attorneys will consider you a seasoned attorney fee award litigator.

Attorney Fee Awards: a handbook for attorneys identifies essential law and practices applicable to most cases in most areas of litigation. This handbook is not for criminal law, or for domestic relations law.  Those areas vary too much among the states to make it sensible to include them in a compact handbook, so I didn't include them.  But this handbook for lawyers does succinctly state the essential law and practices applicable to attorney's fees in most cases in most areas of litigation.  I've used the word "succinctly' in describing Attorney Fee Awards: a handbook for attorneys. This handbook is designed to be a clear, precise expression in few words; concise and terse. It's a "learn and use tool" for you.

Attorney Fee Awards: a handbook for attorneys contains tactics for both sides of the litigation most attorneys face every year. It has discussions of law, with core citations, you can quickly cut and paste into your briefs. This 200 page handbook has forms you can copy and use, including question outlines for attorney fee expert direct testimony or adverse depositions.

Attorney fee awards are part of so many types of cases (many that some  lawyers don't think of as "attorney fee award cases) that plaintiff's counsel's failure to build the request of an attorney fee award into the start of the case can spell malpractice.

Think about this. . . when you walk into the court you will feel one of two ways: Prepared or Unprepared.  I don't need to ask you which one is a better feeling.

The fact is, just the FEELING of being prepared on attorney fee awards for one case alone must be worth $38.  Consider your small investment a little "emotional insurance policy."  When you walk in feeling prepared, the other side will notice.  An old mentor of mine once said, "The trial game is 75% perception."  It's still true today.

Your tax deductible expense of $38 is protected by a 60-day iron-clad guarantee (you're an attorney. . . there are no loopholes here!) so you have nothing to lose.  If you value your time as much as I do, the only mistake would be letting slip buy this small one-time investment that saves you hours of time and protects you from some preventable fumbles.

This proven advice organizes your fee award request -- or defense if you are opposing a fee award --  in less time, with more efficiency.  And, you'll be so prepared on what, when, and how to request or defeat an attorney fee award in your case,  you can focus on being your best in the court room.
