Dare2Be ..... we went through ALL of that ..... still nothing.... like I have said..... the offer made by Dish at Arbitration was $1.00.......TOTALLY AN INSULT ....
It also should not be overlooked that, prior to trial, DISH made offers to
settle that would have resulted in a substantially greater award to Mr. Myers than he is
receiving by this judgment.
I guess that I would be asking my lawyers then what Dish had offered that the Appeals Court noted in their ruling on the fees. The attorneys were obligated to communicate the offer to you. If your attorneys didn't tell you about the offer from Dish, then you have a case against them.Yes Voyager, noted in the decision by the arguments submitted by DISH ...... however, this was not the case found in the transcript of the jury trial .... I am NOT aware of ANY offer other than the $1.00 that I was present for during Arbitration ....
The case was remanded back to the trial court to recalculate the attorneys fees.Tampa8
I have agreed with that since the trial was finally over!!!!!
Dish, just needs to follow the court orders and they are done!!!!
Just and FYI, we ARE talking about a Tampa Lawyer... LOL
IV. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm all aspects of this case except for the
award of attorneys' fees. We reverse that award and remand for entry of an order
awarding fees based on the lodestar amount alone, which the trial court must
recalculate without including travel time.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
DAVIS and WALLACE, JJ., Concur.
I used to work for a large corporation. Rest assured, being sued is a normal part of business. Former employees suing, customers suing, being part of class-action lawsuits (one example: because parts that the company stopped using 30 years ago contained a harmful material - purchased parts at that, mind you!), and so on.When doesnt Charlie not listen or have a lawsuit
We now have to go back to local courts to get a JUDGEMENT against DISH so we can start taking property.
I'm not 100% certain, but in many cases the client allows their attorney to make decisions for them. The attorney doesn't have to consult with the client every time. If not, the attorney could easily claim that there was an oral agreement between client/attorney to not accept anything less than "X".Wonder if Dish or the Judge would be interested to see this thread if Dish did make an offer to the attorney, and it never got passed to the client and how it would affect the outcome.
The case is over. Dish did not contest the amount awarded to you. Dish contested the amount to be paid in attorneys fees. The Appeals Court agreed with Dish that the amount for the attorneys was calculated incorrectly. The Trial Court will now recompute the attorneys fees based upon the Appeals Court ruling. You should get your money when the Trial Court issues the new award (for attorneys fees) provided that the amount isn't ridiculous like the first amount.If we get Seizure August 3rd .... I'm going to Denver!!!! Or maybe even Wyoming.... their UPLINK!!!!!
Why play locally, if I have to make an impact, go for the core of their business!!!!
