When faced with a significant claim for security for costs, our experienced litigators can help reduce what the court orders you to pay. Opposing Party sought $128,354.72 in security for costs. We argued that the costs sought were broad and unjustified. The request was unsupported by the level of detail the court expects when such substantial relief is requested. Natalie Posala from our firm was successfully able to have the court lower this to only $10,000 payable by our clients. If you are facing a claim for security for costs, we may be able to help. Contact us: 289-270-7243. Please note: this is not legal advice and every case differs. The results you received in your matter may differ from above.
