They do not pay the estate attorney's fees, the estate does. If they hire their own attorney, yes, they have to pay them.
No. Attorney's fees are only awarded in certain cases.
innocent or guilty. innocent there are no re-percussions. guilty you will have to pay the debt for what you are being sued for. you may also be ordered to pay court costs and attorney fees.
In Nevada you need to financially prove to the court that you cannot afford to hire an attorney. If you do get approved for a court appointed attorney, you still have to pay attorney fees at a low monthly payment. I'm not sure if it is the same in Missouri.
Yes, in most cases, attorney fees are considered taxable income and must be reported on your tax return.

You get to make the decision, not the attorney. You are going to have to pay the fees to the attorney.
Your counter-suit can include a clause that requires him to pay your attorneys fees AFTER the case has been concluded. However, during the proceedings he cannot engage an attorney for you and pay his fees due to the conflict of interest that it causes.
Attorney fees should be included in the terms of the lawsuit judgment.
In my case, no, in the state of Missouri.
If a defendant cannot afford an attorney, they have the right to request a court-appointed attorney, also known as a public defender. In the United States, the Sixth Amendment ensures the right to legal representation, and courts are obligated to provide counsel for defendants who cannot pay. The defendant must demonstrate their financial situation, and if approved, the court will assign a qualified attorney to represent them in their legal proceedings.
Both plaintiff and defendant get attorneys even if they cant pay for them
