Now, you can have 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.

This is a 199 page handbook. 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, and gives you the tips and forms that they do not give you 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 are 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 can 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, and each need to

  • read the handbook before cases come in the door, so they
  • know the basics of attorney fee awards for that case,
  • know the requirements that need to be met,
  • and have forms available that save time,
  • as soon as the case starts.

"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 basic procedure, general law,
and best practices and tactics on attorney fee awards.

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. 

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 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. 

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!

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 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 an exceptionally happy client."

All The Best,

Let me recap. . . 

  • Attorney Fee Awards gives you the basic law and tactics that seasoned attorney fee award litigation attorneys have been using for years.

  • Attorney Fee Awards is a handbook that is compact, down to earth, and to the point. It's what a senior mentor would tell you.

  • Attorney Fee Awardshas forms, tips, and advice (including deposition outlines) that save you time and money. Using just one of these forms saves you more than the price of the handbook.

  • Attorney Fee Awards is a very low investment with a high value return.

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."

Plus, you don't have to worry about getting your money's worth because You're completely protected by my "100%, No Questions Asked, Money Back Guarantee!" 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 value mine, the only mistake would be letting slip by this small one-time investment that saves you hours of time and protects you from some preventable fumbles.
