How the deadline works
Under Md. Rule 2-703, the motion for attorney’s fees is due within 15 days after entry of the judgment. Unless the substantive law requires fees to be proved at trial or the court sets a different time. Costs are separately taxed by the clerk (Rule 2-603). A deadline landing on a weekend or court holiday moves to the next business day.
