Summary (Justice Demanded)
The court document is a declaration concerning attorney fees in the divorce case of Aaron Michael Surina and Sirinya Surina. From Aaron’s perspective, it seems as though the attorney fees and associated costs reflect a level of unfairness. The attorney for the petitioner, Keith A. Glanzer, has charged a rate of $225 per hour for a total of 143.20 hours, resulting in a total of $32,220.
In addition to this, there are other costs that have been incurred, including a filing fee, service of petition fee, computer forensic fee, transcription costs, and bank costs, all adding up to $1,252.97. The total amount may seem extraordinarily high, potentially creating a financial burden on Aaron.
Furthermore, the attorney’s declaration that these costs are reasonable could be seen as subjective and biased. Aaron might perceive this as an unethical conduct, particularly if he believes the time spent or the costs incurred are inflated. Such high costs could potentially be used as a tactic to pressure Aaron into agreeing to less favorable terms.
Lastly, Aaron might also feel there is an implicit bias in the court system that overlooks such high costs, especially if these are not being equally shared or if they are significantly affecting his financial stability post-divorce. This could be seen as an injustice against him.
