Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Defendant's Name], I am writing in response to your recent Motion for Attorneys Fees in [Case Name], which was filed on [Date]. As the plaintiff in this case, I would like to present a detailed response addressing the key points raised in your motion. Firstly, I would like to clarify that the state of Oklahoma follows a common rule when it comes to awarding attorneys fees. Under this rule, each party is generally responsible for their own legal expenses unless a specific statute, contract, or exception applies. Therefore, it is important to carefully review the governing laws and contractual agreements before claiming entitlement to attorneys fees. In your motion, you have contended that you are entitled to attorneys fees based on [specific statute/contractual clause]. However, upon careful examination of the relevant laws and documents, it is evident that this particular provision is not applicable in our case. [Provide appropriate legal arguments and supporting evidence to counter the defendant's claim.] Furthermore, it is important to note that even if the aforementioned provision did apply, the circumstances of this case do not warrant the award of attorneys fees to the defendant. Oklahoma courts typically consider several factors before granting such a request, including the reasonableness and necessity of the fees claimed, the complexity of the case, the conduct of the parties, and the financial resources of both parties involved. In this regard, I would like to highlight that throughout the proceedings, the defendant's actions have contributed significantly to the length and complexity of this case. [Provide specific instances, if applicable, where the defendant's conduct has caused delays or complexities.] As a result, it would be unfair and unjust to burden the plaintiff with the defendant's legal expenses. Additionally, it is crucial to mention that the financial resources of the parties involved should also be considered. As the plaintiff, I have limited financial means and would face undue hardship if burdened with the defendant's attorneys fees. On the other hand, the defendant has demonstrated sufficient financial capability to bear their own legal expenses. Considering these points, I respectfully request that the court deny the defendant's Motion for Attorneys Fees in its entirety. I believe the facts, applicable laws, and the principles of fairness and justice support this request. Should the court require further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. I remain committed to reaching a just resolution in this case. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Plaintiff's Name] [Plaintiff's Contact Information]
