Legal Obligations For Lawyers
Summary
When firing a civil lawyer in California, your payment obligations depend on the fee agreement. In a pro bono retainer, you may still owe costs like filing fees. Attorneys must disclose fees and liens per California Business and Professions Code § 6148. If a lawyer refuses to disclose lien costs, this code requires transparency. For civil lawsuits, evidence of intentional suppression by a town can lead to legal action. California Civil Code § 1708.6 allows human trafficking victims to sue for damages. The statute of limitations for child victims extends to age 40 or five years after discovering psychological harm. Consider consulting a lawyer for personalized advice.Full Conversation
