If the court does not accept the case after I paid the attorney fee, can the law firm refund my money?

It depends on the stipulations in the contract. However, after completing the entrustment procedures, refunds are generally not possible for non-lawyer faults, but if the fee has just been paid and the process has not started, sometimes it can be negotiated. According to the stipulated principles, you cannot withdraw, and even if you want to withdraw, you will not be completely refunded.

1. If the attorney fees you pay are for appeal and you no longer appeal, whether the attorney fees can be refunded and how much depends on the contract. If there is an agreement in the contract, it will be refunded as agreed.

2. If there is no agreement in the contract, you can negotiate with a lawyer. If the appeal materials have not been submitted, part of the fee can generally be refunded.

Extended information

Lawyer fees have the following characteristics:

1. Lawyers should collect case acceptance fees in the name of the law firm where they work, and are not allowed to charge lawyers privately fee.

2. Attorney’s fees are different from case-handling expenses. Necessary expenses incurred by lawyers for handling entrusted matters must still be borne by the client. For example, transportation expenses, food and accommodation expenses, judicial appraisal fees, etc.

3. Attorney fees are different from litigation fees. Attorney fees are fees charged based on civil agency relationships, while litigation fees are fees charged based on compulsory fees to the court. Attorney fees are negotiable, but litigation fees are non-negotiable.

It can also be seen from Article 3 that attorney fees are negotiable if the contract allows!
