Subject: Hawaii Sample Letter for Plaintiff's Response to Defendant's Motion for Attorney's Fees Dear [Defendant's Name], RE: Response to Defendant's Motion for Attorney's Fees — [Case Number] I am writing this letter in response to your recent motion for attorney's fees in the above-mentioned case. I have reviewed your motion and would like to address the points raised. First and foremost, it is my contention that your motion for attorney's fees lacks merit. I firmly believe that the expenses and fees you incurred during this litigation are not reasonable and necessary, nor are they supported by applicable state law or established court rules. I would like to bring your attention to the following key points in relation to your request for attorney's fees: 1. Absence of Substantial Justification: We consider your motion for attorney's fees to be without substantial justification. The manner in which you conducted your defense and the arguments presented do not warrant an award of attorney's fees. 2. Unreasonable Billing Practices: Upon reviewing the breakdown of your requested fees, we find that several billing entries are excessive, redundant, or unrelated to the case at hand. We assert that these instances are clear violations of the principles of reasonableness. 3. Failure to Satisfy Statutory Criteria: Your motion fails to satisfy the statutory requirements for the awarding of attorney's fees as provided under [Specify relevant Hawaii statute or legal precedent]. We contend that your request does not establish the necessary elements to warrant an award. In light of the aforementioned points, we respectfully request that the court deny your motion for attorney's fees in its entirety. We further request that the court exercises its discretion and refrains from awarding you any fees to avoid an unjustified financial burden on our client. Enclosed with this letter, please find our memorandum of law, which provides extensive legal arguments and authority supporting our opposition to your motion. We trust that this comprehensive document will assist the court in reaching a fair and informed decision. We anticipate an expeditious resolution of this matter and remain committed to vigorously defending our client's interests throughout the litigation process. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Should you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the address stated below.
