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: Plaintiff's 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 the motion filed by your counsel requesting attorneys' fees in the case of [Case Name and Number]. As the plaintiff in this matter, I would like to address the said motion and provide my rebuttal. First and foremost, I dispute the validity and necessity of your request for attorneys' fees. It is important to note that the prevailing party in a lawsuit may be awarded attorneys' fees only in specific circumstances, such as contractual agreements or statutory provisions. However, in this case, no such agreements or statutes exist that would warrant an award of attorneys' fees to the defendant. Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention the following key points which further support my opposition to your motion: 1. Lacking Merit: Your motion fails to demonstrate any valid or substantive grounds for awarding attorneys' fees. It is crucial to note that mere success in the underlying case does not automatically entitle a party to attorneys' fees. The defendant must establish the existence of a contractual or statutory provision that specifically allows for such an award. 2. Financial Burden: Granting attorneys' fees to the defendant would impose an unjust financial burden on the plaintiff. As an individual of limited financial means, I would be significantly disadvantaged by having to bear both my own legal expenses and those incurred by the defendant. 3. Procedural Improprieties: I request the court to consider the procedural improprieties exhibited by the defendant during the course of this litigation. This includes numerous dilatory tactics and baseless filings, which have unnecessarily prolonged the proceedings and increased the costs for both parties involved. Based on the aforementioned points, it is my fervent request that the court denies the defendant's motion for attorneys' fees. Granting such an award would not only be unsupported by any legal justification but would also be disproportionate and unfair in light of the circumstances. In conclusion, I respectfully request that the court carefully examines the merits of the defendant's motion, taking into consideration the lack of legal basis and the potential financial burden it would impose on the plaintiff. I trust that sound judgment will prevail in this matter and that justice will be served. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or clarification. Sincerely, [Your Name]
