Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Defendant's Name] [Defendant's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Re: Response to Defendant's Motion for Attorney's Fees Case: [Case Name] Court: [Court Name] Case Number: [Case Number] Dear [Defendant's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to your Motion for Attorney's Fees filed on [Date]. After careful review of your motion, I respectfully oppose your request for attorney's fees for the following reasons: 1. Lack of Merit: Upon thorough examination of the relevant statutes and case law, it is evident that your claim for attorney's fees lacks merit. The prevailing party is entitled to attorney's fees only in specific circumstances as outlined by Oregon law, such as when authorized by contract, statute, or court rule. In the present case, none of these circumstances apply. Therefore, your motion for attorney's fees should be denied. 2. Failure to Meet Legal Requirements: Even if we were to assume argued that attorney's fees are available in this case, you have failed to meet the legal requirements necessary to support such a claim. Oregon's law mandates that the requesting party must demonstrate that their position was substantially justified, that the fees are reasonable, necessary, and that they were diligently pursued. Your motion fails to provide any substantial justification, reasonable assessment of fees, or demonstrate diligence in pursuing them. 3. Disproportionate and Unreasonable Fees: In reviewing the breakdown of fees provided in your motion, it becomes apparent that the requested amount is disproportionate and unreasonable in relation to the nature and complexity of this case. The fees appear inflated, and numerous charges seem unrelated or unnecessary to the legal issues at hand. This supports the conclusion that the requested attorney's fees should not be awarded as they do not reflect the true costs incurred in pursuing this matter. I request that the court carefully consider these facts and reject your motion for attorney's fees. Should the court require further documentation or clarification regarding our opposition, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
