Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Attorney Fees

Normally, a legal fee is a matter of contract. The fee is normally set out in the contract, as are the terms of payment. If it is an contingent-fee case. it means payment at distribution. From the nature of the question, it seems as if the legal fee was for a transaction or for hourly work. If the attorney has given an opportunity to pay in the past and has provided an explanation for the elements of the fee, the attorney will probably file suit against the person who owes the fee, and if there is no defense, get a judgment against that person. If there is no appeal of the judgment, the attorney may send the sheriff to sell the person's belongings or seize the person's bank account.
