I won a holdover case representing myself. I had fired my lawyer before the trial. I had to file an order to show cause to argue in front of the same judge to try and recover my legal fees.
The judge said I MUST have that lawyer show up in court so the judge can determine what
reasonable amount I am due. I want to make sure that lawyer's legal fees for his upcoming appearance is included in judge's monetary decision. Also, IS THERE CASE LAW OR EXISTING STATUTE/LAW THAT ALLOWS ME TO ARGUE IN COURT FOR MY LEGAL FEES WITHOUT MY FORMER ATT'Y PARTICIPATING IN THE HEARING? pOSTED jan.24,2017, 618pm,ET
