OPINION AND ORDER
DOUMAR, District Judge.
This matter is before the Court upon the motion of the plaintiff for attorney’s fees pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”), 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.. Because the reasonableness of attorney’s fees is largely a question of factual circumstances, the Court discusses the background of this case in some depth.
I. Background
The plaintiff, Ms. McDonnell, sued her former employer, the defendant Miller Oil Co., alleging that the defendant violated the FMLA by failing to reinstate her following her maternity leave.
