What is Attorney Fee
In hearings where there are defendants and plaintiffs, there is a winning and a losing party. The losing party in lawsuits is obliged to pay a compensation to the attorney of the winning party. This amount that the losing party is forced to pay to the attorney of the winning party is defined as the attorney fee. The retainer fee is the legal right of the attorney and must be paid by the losing party. It should not be confused with the attorney fee paid according to the agreement between the attorney and the client.
You Lost the Lawsuit, Now You Will Pay the Attorney Fee
You may have been involved in a lawsuit for any reason. As a result of the lawsuit, the judge may have ruled against you. If the judge has written the retainer fee in the decision, you are obliged to pay the determined retainer fee to the attorney of the other party. This fee is specified by the judge in the decision. If you do not pay this specified fee to the attorney of the other party as soon as possible, the attorney has the right to enforce the collection of their receivable. In this case, an enforcement expense is added to the retainer fee. If the judge does not specify the retainer fee in the decision, the attorney of the other party appeals the decision to receive this fee and receives the retainer fee with the decision of the appellate court.
