On July 27, 2020, the Circuit Court for Dane County, Wisconsin entered an amended judgment for Leonard (Lenny) Pozner against James Fetzer in Pozner v. Fetzer, Case No. 18CV3122 (2018CV003122, Document 443). The judgment is for $1,107,395.13, or about $1.1 million.
The court document breaks the total into three parts: the $450,000 awarded by the jury; $7,395.13 in fees and costs taxed by the Clerk of Circuit Court; and $650,000 in attorneys’ fees ordered by the court and agreed to by the parties.
The $7,395.13 in costs comes from the itemized bill of costs that Pozner filed on November 4, 2019, with a supporting affidavit from attorney Emily Feinstein. It includes $500.00 in statutory attorney fees under Wis. Stat. § 814.04(1)(a), $115.40 for court transcripts and $6,779.73 for deposition transcripts. The amount allowed matches the amount proposed on every line.
Pozner was represented by Meshbesher & Spence Ltd., The Zimmerman Firm LLC and Quarles & Brady LLP. Mike Palecek is also named as a defendant in the caption, but the judgment is entered against Fetzer alone.
