The Complainant was entitled to be paid interest on attorney’s fees awarded by a federal court on May 31, 1984 through the date of payment on August 25, 1996. Olson v. Phillips Plating (LIRC, 02/11/92).

Where the Complainant paid her legal bills as they were incurred over the course of a case taking many years to litigate, in the eventual award to her of an amount for those attorney fees, interest on the amount at seven percent per annum compounded quarterly should be added, to compensate the Complainant for the fact that she lost use of the money paid in legal fees through the pendency of the case. Watkins v. Milwaukee County (LIRC, 07/03/85).
