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 Attorneys Fees Dear [Defendant's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to your recent Motion for Attorneys Fees filed on [date], in the case of [Case Name] pending in the [Name of Court] in Fulton, Georgia. First and foremost, I object to your request for attorneys fees as it lacks legal merit and fails to meet the necessary criteria for such an award. Allow me to address the key points raised in your motion. 1. Lack of Substantial Justification: Your motion fails to present any evidence demonstrating that your defense in this case was substantially justified. As the plaintiff, I assert that your actions were baseless and without merit, and you have failed to establish any solid grounds to justify your request for attorneys fees. 2. Reasonableness of Fees: Your request for attorneys fees is excessive and not justified by the complexity or nature of this case. Your motion lacks any detailed breakdown of the hours spent by your counsel, their hourly rates, or any other specific factors relevant to determine the reasonableness of the fees. Without proper substantiation, it is unreasonable to expect this court to grant your request for attorneys fees. 3. Prevailing Party: Your claim to be the prevailing party is misleading and inaccurate. In fact, the court has already ruled in my favor on [date], making me the prevailing party in this matter. The court's ruling clearly demonstrates the lack of merit in your defense, further undermining your request for attorneys fees. In light of the above, I kindly request that you withdraw your Motion for Attorneys Fees immediately. Should you choose to proceed with your request, I will vigorously uphold my rights to contest and oppose your motion during the forthcoming court proceedings. Additionally, I would appreciate the court's indulgence in awarding me reasonable attorney's fees incurred in responding to your baseless motion, as permitted under applicable Federal and Georgia law. Please be advised that I am open to engaging in settlement discussions to put this matter to rest and avoid further unnecessary litigation. I encourage you to consider the potential costs and time associated with a protracted legal battle. I firmly believe that the facts and circumstances of this case will ultimately favor my position. Nonetheless, we should explore every opportunity to resolve this dispute amicably to mitigate any additional burdens on both parties. To that effect, I propose that we schedule a settlement conference or participate in mediation to explore potential avenues for resolution. I kindly request your prompt response to this letter to initiate productive discussions. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
