Today, my lawyer threatened to sue me because I can't afford his bill, which he sent to me after getting me out of a lawsuit. FML

Today, the pimple-faced sandwich artist at Subway threatened not to give me my food until I paid him seven dollars, which he asked for after preparing my sandwich for me. FML.

YDI for using the lawyers services and then refusing to pay. WTF is wrong with you?

You hired him, he told you UPFRONT what cost would be (I know I do with MY clients) and now that he WON your suit, you don't think you should have to pay?! What if he LOST the case would you have to pay then?! You're a douche. Stop whining and pay the man.

Why in the world did you hire someone you can't afford?

http://www.cba.org/bc/public_media/lawyers/438.aspx Technically, this is the canadian bar association, but same rules apply here. Also, YDI. Like everyone else says, you hired him to do a service, he perfpormed it, and now he expects you to pay for it. Stop being a whiny bitch and call him so you can work out a payment plan. Besides, you could have got a court appointed lawyer to help you if you didn't have funds..

And this, my friends, is why there is a special place in Hell for lawyers. :)

For wanting to eat, pay rent, etc for doing their job? Does your retarded ass hell for anybody who gets paid by someone to do something as well? .... wait.... that would be everyone.

Wow... you are a particularly rare form of idiot! I hope you do your job and some jerk thinks it is ok not to pay you!

Lawyers very rarely sue clients. It makes them look foolish to judges, other lawyers, and potential clients. A competent lawyer shouldn't have the need to sue anyone. That is why they love retainers so much.

ummmm, duh? what did you expect, for him to say "oh no dont worry, ill work for free"

shit outta luck. now you're gonna have to get ANOTHER lawyer with ANOTHER bill. and the cycle continues
