In the majority of US states an 18-year-old is considered an adult, that being the case parents are not financially responsible for their adult child unless there are extentuating circumstances, such as a court order stating differently. In the few states where the age of majority is higher then 18, the existing state laws would determine what if any liability parents might have in such circumstances.

Can attorneys charge a fee and extra money for his expenses on a federal tort case?

Yes. Any expenses incurred during litigation are normally charged to the client outside of the attorney's fee.Added: HOPEFULLY you will have a signed agreement or contract for services which covers this matter. If no contract was signed or agreed to (IN WRITING) you may not be liable for the extra fees, but you can probably assume that the attorney will take you to court to recover their (alleged) expenses.

Can a landlord sue a tenant for expenses after tenant sued for security deposit and lost?

Probably YES. Read your lease. The tenant may be held liable for all legal fees incurred by a landlord by actions of a tenant. Since the landlord had to provide a defense, he incurred fees. Just as if you WON, you may have been able to collect YOUR legal fees. Laws vary by state and I am not an attorney. See RentLaw.com for general info.
