Somewhere I got the impression there was a rule that the losing side had to pay the attorney fees of the winning side, possibly as a way to prevent frivolous lawsuits. Is this not a thing?
If it isn't, damn. I hope I never have the misfortune of somebody falsely accusing me in such a manner that the accusation alone wipes $120k from my pockets.
- Lev1a 7y agoIirc for some offenses/crimes that payment is automatic and for some it has to be ordered by the judge.
- jandrese 7y agoThat is for civil cases. Criminal cases are prosecuted by the state so you are on your own with your lawyer's fees. And good luck paying them off with the $0.04/hour you earn doing prison labor.
