Refund of legal fees if the lawyer loses the case

Legal analysis: Lawyer fees cannot be refunded if the lawsuit is lost. According to industry practice, once a lawyer accepts a case and submits the relevant entrustment procedures to the court, the lawyer's work has already begun. No matter how the case is finally settled, adjudicated or mediated or withdrawn, whether the outcome of the case is good or bad, attorney fees cannot be refunded. Unless the case is lost due to the lawyer's mistakes, the fees will be refunded or corresponding responsibilities will be borne based on the seriousness of the case.
