Proceeds and Legal Fees
PAYMENT OF LEGAL FEES WITH PROCEEDS FROM ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
In cases involving drug trafficking, money laundering, tax fraud, or other economic crimes, the government has the ability to forfeit legal fees paid with the proceeds of illegal activities under The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986. This means that clients convicted of these crimes could potentially end up owing their attorneys after they have already paid if the government determines that the money used to pay said legal fees came from an illegal source.
