CTX y8 I am familiar with the hourly billing rates charged for legal services in this community by senior partners partners associates and paralegals My current hourly billing rate is per hour The hourly rate charged in this community by attorneys with comparable experience is between and per hour The hourly rate charged by the attorneys for Defendant Aronberg is found to be under and to the middle of that range to per hour Specifically the hourly rate for services performed by Defendant Aronbergs attorney Douglas A Wyler is per hour and this is a reasonable hourly rate for a named partner with the extensive experience and skill demonstrated by Mr Wyler within this community Likewise Mr Wylers senior partner Arthur I Jacobs hourly fate is per hour which is also a reasonable rate within this community I have reviewed the pleadings and documents filed in this cause and have otherwise generally become familiar with the proceedings in this case Similarly I have examined the record of time expended in this matter by the attorneys for Defendant Aronberg in this matter It is my opinion that the hours expended by the attorneys are consistent with the work-product performed as reflected in the file as well as counsels expectation to incur an additional hours at an hour in preparing for and attending the hearing on attorneys fees are reasonable Accordingly hours of attorney time reflects an accurate billing and expenditure of time for counsels services from the date of their demand under Fla Stat Based on the criteria in Rowe Florida Patients Compensation Fund So.2d the amount of time spent and a reasonable hourly rate for legal services of the type performed by Defendant Aron bergs attorneys in this case calculated at hours hours is a reasonable fee for the attorneys of record in the above styled cause I have reviewed said file in light of the criteria set forth in Rule of the Florida Bar Rules of Professional Conduct and the decisions of the Florida Supreme Court in Florida Patients Compensation Fund Rowe So.2d Fla and Standard Guaranty Insurance Co Quanstrom So 2d Fla In my opinion the outcome achieved by counsel for Defendant Aronberg in this case demonstrates the level and skill in advocacy of representation which Defendant Aronberg received in this case Additionally in my opinion the multiplier requested herein is reasonable because if Douglas A Wyler and Arthur I Jacobs had not undertaken Defendant Aronber case it would have been extremely unlikely that Defendant Aronberg could have procured other counsel for the following reasons a It was highly contingent in nature It obviously would have involved a great deal of time and labor It would have required a disproportional financial investment Any compensation to be received if any would be long deferred It would have involved working with difficult subject matter Many lawyers in this community would not have undertaken representation of Defendant Aronberg in this case simply because they could not have afforded the financial outlay risk to represent Defendant Aronberg in this case on a pure contingency fee basis Additionally based upon my experience it is my opinion that the hours described in the Amended Motion for Attorneys Fees and Costs filed in this case for which Defendant Aronberg seeks compensation are based on a reasonable and necessary expenditure of time Likewise the multiplier requested herein is reasonable and should be awarded I base my conclusions on the foregoing and my knowledge of the time required to litigate similar civil cases involving media entities FURTHER AFFIANT SA
