Can attorney fees be invoiced?

Legal analysis: Yes.

First of all, lawyers should issue invoices in a timely manner after collecting lawyer service fees. If you give money but don't give an invoice, this is not unreasonable, but a serious violation.

In addition, according to legal provisions: among the lawyer service fees, the off-site case handling fees and travel expenses paid on behalf of the client shall be borne by the law firm. Lawyers are not allowed to charge any fees from clients without permission. In addition, it is illegal to charge fees privately, and complaints can be reported to the local bar association or the Bureau of Justice. If the amount is serious, it will constitute a crime.

Since law firms are tax payers of business tax, lawyers entrusted with cases must issue invoices supervised by the tax authorities in accordance with the invoice management regulations stipulated by the state. Otherwise, it is a tax-related violation.

In addition to complaining to the Lawyers Association and the Bureau of Justice, you can also complain to the local competent tax authorities, which will coordinate or handle them. Of course, you can also continue to request the agent to provide legal and valid invoices, because your invoice request is legitimate and reasonable, and your request is based on laws and regulations.
