The prosecution for my case has been asking for continuances for my case. Now that it is over, my Lawyer is charging more because of the hours that we had went over because of the continuances that the prosecution had set. Is this allowed?
Hello ****, typically, lawyers can charge for all time spent on a case, including the time for handling continuances. However, this depends on your agreement with your lawyer. I suggest you review your fee agreement or discuss it directly with your lawyer.
