Can the defendant in a private lending dispute pay attorney fees?

In private loan disputes, the defendant cannot be asked to pay for a lawyer.

Lawyer fees are generally borne by the parties themselves, and the defendant may also be required to bear them under circumstances stipulated by law.

Legal fees for private lending:

1. Regular fees. Reminder: The regular fees refer to the litigation procedure level fees, which are the "second instance and final trial" system, that is, the litigation is divided into first instance and second instance, and the lawyer's fees are divided into three stages: first instance fee, second instance fee and execution procedure fee;

2 .solely responsible. Lump-sum charging means that after charging a fee, you will be responsible for the case to the end, that is, you will only be charged one fee and be responsible for the first instance, second instance and execution. The charging standards shall be appropriately increased on the basis of the first-instance charges in regular charges;

3. Risk fees. Contingency fees refer to charging only a small fee before the execution of judgment, mediation, and settlement, and charging a higher fee after winning the case or enforcing the benefits. The charging standard is about 2,000-10,000 upfront, and 10-30 after winning the case.

In summary, how to charge for a specific case and how much the lawyer's fees will be must be determined through negotiation with the lawyer.
