We have thoroughly reviewed your motion and would like to present our arguments and objection to your request for attorney's fees.

In addition to the lack of entitlement, we believe that the amount you are requesting for attorney's fees is excessive and unreasonable. Our review of the billed hours and rates indicates significant discrepancies and inflated charges. We request that any potential award for attorney's fees be thoroughly scrutinized and adjusted to reflect the actual work done and the prevailing market rates. We are confident that the court will recognize our position and deny your motion for attorney's fees. However, should the court decide otherwise, we respectfully request that any award be significantly reduced in light of the factors mentioned above. Please consider this letter an official response to your motion for attorney's fees. We request that the court conducts a thorough review of the matter and renders a fair decision in accordance with the law. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We trust that the court will carefully consider our response and make a just ruling in this regard.
