DAlaska: EAJA Attorney and Paralegal Fees
Jump to Comments
Judge John Sedwick has awarded a prevailing Social Security applicant EAJA fees for her attorneys at the maximum rate adjusted for Alaska-based inflation: $158.79/hr. in 2006 and $161.84/hr. in 2007. Sedwick also awarded $95/hr. for paralegal time.
The government contested only the number of hours. Sedwick found for the claimant on that issue.
