The motion for attorney fees, filed in federal court on Friday, detailed the legal expenses in 96 pages. They want Glanz and the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office to foot the bill.
Attorneys Dan Smolen and Don Smolen each billed at $400 per hour, while Louis Bullock billed at $350 per hour, Thomas Mortensen billed at $325 per hour and Robert Blakemore and Patricia Bullock billed at $300 per hour. The total charge for attorneys and their staffs was $659,159.56.

In March, a jury found in favor of the plaintiff and awarded her $25,000. Glanz's attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial.
