Do you have to pay court fees and lawyers fees even if you pay before court date?
The question is unclear -but- some attorneys may want to be paid up-front. It all depends upon the circumstances. Some court fees (filing fees, notary fees, etc) must be paid up front just to get the court paperwork started, however these fees are not usually referred to as "court costs." Court costs, if applicable, are levied after the case has gone to conclusion, and are usually included as part of the verdict.
