Who is responsible for the expenses of public prosecution lawyers?

The legal fees shall be paid by the party requesting the lawyer. However, in civil and commercial cases, when one party becomes the defendant, if a lawyer is hired to defend it and the plaintiff wins the case, the plaintiff can be required to pay this fee (the law supports one party to repay the necessary expenses paid by the other party for the trial of the case).

Legal fees (which may lead to appraisal fees) are generally paid by the plaintiff in advance. After the trial of the case is completed, the judgment will decide the allocation of legal fees according to the responsibility of the original defendant, and generally the party who completely loses the case will bear all legal fees (appraisal fees).

Legal basis:

Article 32 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * A criminal suspect and defendant may entrust one or two persons as defenders in addition to exercising their right of defense. The following persons may be entrusted as defenders: (1) lawyers; (2) People's organizations or personnel recommended by the units to which the criminal suspect or defendant belongs; (3) Guardians, relatives and friends of criminal suspects and defendants. A person who has been sentenced to punishment according to law or deprived of or restricted personal freedom shall not act as a defender.
