[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're going to spend $35K to get $35K. (In lawyer fees and by your own time.)[/quote] Probably. And by OP’s earlier post it seems she thinks someone else will pay her attorney’s fees. That is a really unusual occurrence and she shouldn’t count on that. [/quote] OP here, I thought the losing party pays the attorney fees?[/quote] Nope. In this type of case only if the contract provides for fee shifting. And if you have a contract, it probably only provides for fee shifting if you stiff them for bills. So what that means is this. If your lawyers bills are $30k and you win $20k, you have to give the lawyer the entire $20k plus another $10k and you have to pay all costs that the attorney incurs - court fees, experts, etc. You by no means are guaranteed in coming out ahead even if you win.
