FAQ

Attorney's Fees/Attorneys' Fees, or Attorney fees are the amounts billed to a client for legal services performed on their behalf. Attorney fees may be hourly, contingent, flat, or hybrid. Nonrefundable fees are prohibited in some states.

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.

Definition: Legal fees are the costs associated with the use of professional legal services, including attorneys, paralegals, and other professionals involved in the legal process. Legal fees are typically charged for services such as consultation, representation, drafting and filing documents, and research.

Legal and other professional fees are not specifically mentioned in the Code as deductible items. Therefore, a taxpayer is able to deduct these types of fees only if they qualify as “ordinary and necessary” expenses under §162 (business expenses) or §212 (expenses related to the production of income).
