FAQ

Is an attorney more powerful than a lawyer? Not necessarily. While attorneys specifically represent clients in court, both lawyers and attorneys have the same level of legal education and training. The distinction is more about their role, rather than their power or authority.

In Florida, you can sue for attorney fees in certain situations. There are certain laws that allow a party suing for a violation of the law to recover their attorney fees from the violating party.

Deciding whether to sue a client for unpaid fees and expenses requires a careful and in-depth analysis of the risks and benefits of bringing such a claim. Attorneys should be wary of the risk of a malpractice counterclaim, as well as the financial risks associated with a collection suit.

A lawyer should not bring suit against a current client for unpaid fees as this would involve a violation of the conflict rule. In the initial conferences with your lawyer, you should ask for an estimate of total costs for your type of lawsuit.Some attorneys and law practices are willing to file lawsuits to recover unpaid attorney fees and unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses. No lawyer or firm may participate in the fee without the consent of the client in writing. Parties to a lawsuit are generally responsible for paying their own attorney's fees regardless of the lawsuit's outcome.
