ITEM 2D | HOW ARE COSTS INCURRED ON APPEAL RECOVERED?
In contrast, a motion for attorney’s fees is filed in the appellate court. Then, if the appellate court awards attorney’s fees, the party entitled to the fees generally has to file a motion in the trial court to determine the amount of the fees. Unlike with appellate costs, there is no set deadline in the rules for filing a motion to determine the amount of attorney’s fees in the trial court after the appellate court awards entitlement to fees. But such a motion should probably still be filed within the same amount of time as a costs motion (i.e., within 45 days of the appellate court’s decision).
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine this handbook in order to protect yourself from judges/lawyers/organizations who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
