Victory on Motion for Attorney's Fees and Costs After Contested Stalking Protective Order Hearing
September 2024
At Shortell Law LLC, we take pride in the dedication and expertise of our legal team. Today, we're thrilled to highlight an accomplishment by associate attorney Sarah Kathryn Bryan, who successfully navigated a stalking protective order case, then helped Shortell Law LLC's clients recover some of the cost of litigation in a motion for fees.
Case Overview
Stalking protective orders are vital legal tools that provide individuals with the necessary safeguards against harassment, stalking, or threats. The process requires an attorney to understand the toll stalking can take on its victims in order to successfully develop the evidence and legal strategy.
Through diligent preparation and compelling advocacy, Ms. Bryan presented a strong case, demonstrating her clients' need for protection and the validity of her clients' claims. The court recognized the merits of the case and granted the protective order, ensuring our client could feel safe and secure moving forward.
Winning the Motion for Fees
Following the success in securing the protective order, Ms. Bryan pursued a motion for attorney's fees. In many cases, the prevailing party may seek to recover legal costs, especially when the other party's actions have necessitated legal intervention. This aspect of the law is crucial in ensuring that individuals can seek justice without the burden of excessive legal fees.
In a well-prepared motion, Ms. Bryan outlined the justification for the fees, emphasizing the complexities involved in the case and the significant time and resources expended to advocate for our client's rights. The court, recognizing the merit of the arguments presented, granted the motion for fees, further validating the hard work and commitment shown throughout the case.
