FAMILY COURT APPLICATION "PROVIDENTLY" DENIED
After her request for “prospective” legal fees was denied by the New York County Family Court, LW appealed.
And on its review of the record, the Appellate Division, First Department, noted that her motion hadn't been properly supported. Apparently, LW left out the “required affidavits and exhibits.”
Because she failed to provide a sworn statement from counsel as to the “reasonableness” of her request, and did not supply a signed retainer agreement with that attorney, the AD1 thought the application had been “providently” denied.
No win, no fee?
