Attorney fees refer to the legal costs charged by a lawyer for their services. These fees can be calculated based on an hourly rate, a flat fee or a contingency fee, depending on the agreement between the attorney and their client. Attorney fees are typically paid by the client and may vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the experience of the lawyer, and the location of the law firm. In some cases, the losing party in a legal dispute may be required to pay the winning party's attorney fees as part of the judgment.
