New York CJA Form 27 Compensation claim in excess of the statutory is a document that is used by criminal defense attorneys to request additional compensation for services provided to their clients beyond the amount set by the New York State Office of Court Administration. This form is typically used when services provided are more complex than usual, or the attorney believes they are due additional compensation due to an extraordinary amount of time and work invested in a particular case. New York CJA Form 27 Compensation claim in excess of the statutory is divided into two categories: (1) Claims for Regular Compensation, and (2) Claims for Enhanced Compensation. For Claims for Regular Compensation, the attorney must provide the Court with a detailed account of the time spent on the case and the services provided. This includes a description of the legal work performed, the time spent on each task, and the rate of compensation being requested. For Claims for Enhanced Compensation, the attorney must provide evidence that the services provided were of an extraordinary nature and required an extraordinary amount of time, energy, and effort on the part of the defense attorney. This is typically done through the submission of affidavits from other lawyers, judges, or experts in the field who can attest to the extraordinary nature of the services provided. In both cases, the Court will review the New York CJA Form 27 Compensation claim in excess of the statutory and determine if the request is reasonable and whether additional compensation should be granted.
