[WSBARP] Litigators - Atty Fees Request

[Paul Neumiller]

Hey All, I know that I'm not supposed to bring up settlement discussions during litigation but we are at the end of arbitration and the arbitrator has asked for atty fees requests.  I want to show that the opposing party did not improve on a settlement offer I made in open court many months ago (prior to mediation and arbitration) feeling that all attorney fees incurred after that point was a result of not accepting that settlement offer.  Am I able to use settlement talks and an offer made in open court now that a decision has been made on the merits of the case and the sole issue remaining is the award of atty fees?  Thanks for your input.
