Offer of Judgment – Creating an Entitlement to Attorney’s Fees

Offer of Judgment – Creating an Entitlement to Attorney’s Fees If you don’t have a contractual or statutory right to recover attorney’s fees, you may be able to recover attorney’s fees if you offer a reasonable settlement that the opposing side rejects.  These offers or demands for judgment follow a specific format and need to describe the offer or demand in detail.  As an example, in a dispute against the City of Miami over the principal amount of $21,750.00, we submitted an offer to the City for $17,000.00.  The City rejected the Offer and after obtaining a judgment against the City and being successful on appeal, we recovered for the client in excess of $160,000.00 in attorney’s fees, more than seven (7) times the principal amount claimed.
