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 hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing in response to your recent motion for attorney's fees in the case of [Case Name], where I am the plaintiff, and you are the defendant. I have carefully reviewed your motion and would like to present my counterarguments as to why your request should be denied. First and foremost, it is important to note that Middlesex County, Massachusetts, where our case is being heard, follows a strong adherence to the American Rule on attorney's fees. This rule stipulates that each party is responsible for bearing their own legal costs unless specific circumstances, which I believe do not apply in our case. In your motion, you argue that I brought forth this lawsuit without merit or for vexatious reasons, thus justifying your demand for attorney's fees. However, I respectfully disagree. The basis of my claim is rooted in legitimate concerns and evidence that clearly establishes your negligence and breach of duty. Throughout this litigation process, I have provided substantial evidence and testimonies supporting my case, which significantly differs from your characterizations in your motion. Furthermore, it is essential to highlight that the court has already ruled in my favor, acknowledging the validity of my claims and finding you accountable for the damages caused. This outcome underscores the merit behind my lawsuit and reflects the court's recognition of the strength of my position. Given these circumstances, it would be unfair and contrary to the principles of justice to grant you attorney's fees. Additionally, I firmly believe your motion lacks the necessary evidence and documentation to substantiate your claim for attorney's fees. To be eligible for such fees, you must demonstrate that my actions have been malicious, frivolous, or entirely without merit. Contrary to your assertions, I have diligently pursued this case with integrity and in good faith, driven by the genuine belief in the righteousness of my cause. In conclusion, I respectfully request that the court denies your motion for attorney's fees. The facts, circumstances, and the court's previous ruling in my favor strongly support my position. Granting your request would not only disregard these key elements but also undermine the principle of fairness and the longstanding precedents followed by Middlesex County. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I trust that the court will make a just ruling in consideration of the facts presented. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
