Illinois Interim Fee Award Order is a court order issued by a judge in Illinois that grants a lawyer or law firm the right to collect a fee from a client for legal services. This order is typically issued when the dispute between the client and the lawyer or law firm has been resolved and both parties have agreed to a fee amount. In some cases, an Interim Fee Award Order may be issued before the dispute is resolved when the lawyer or law firm has demonstrated that they are owed a fee. There are two types of Illinois Interim Fee Award Order: (1) Interim Fee Award Order on Contested Matter and (2) Interim Fee Award Order on Uncontested Matter. An Interim Fee Award Order on Contested Matter is issued when parties disagree about the amount of the fee being charged, and the court will determine the amount of the fee in a hearing. An Interim Fee Award Order on Uncontested Matter is issued when the parties have agreed to the amount of the fee, and the court will issue an order to pay the agreed amount.
