Quick - hearing right now - I need a case or argument why atty not
Interest on fees is in the contract. But fees are in legitimate dispute. 18
months of litigation now.
My client was sued by his attorney for fees. Fees are genuinely in dispute.
Atty filed MSJ. Hearing in 5 mins. I need an argument and authority (I
don't care from what jurisdiction) as to why/how judge has discretion to
not award interest per the contract.
My thought is that since this is subject to a genuine dispute, atty should
not be entitled to 18 months of interest just because the contract says
he's entitled to interest if fees are paid late. Client isn't just refusing
to pay bill. Bill is legit in dispute.
