What happens if you don’t pay attorney fees after the attorney assists you with a case?

Filed Under legal 

mckeemanb75 asked:


A friend of mine was involved with a criminal trespass case in which he visited an attorney for advise. At no time did he advise this attorney that he wanted his representation. When his court date came, the attorney was there and assisted with the case. There was no contract signed or anything of that nature. This happend in 2003. Bills are still being sent to his house from his attorney, but he has not paid anything.

      For that kind of case unless they are paid up front sounds like misunderstanding on someones part.
