Question

My attorney filed a demurrer asking for dismissal of a lawsuit against me and awarding of attorney's fees. The plaintiff consented to sustain the demurrer with leave to refile in 21 days or less. The court sustained the demurrer Does the plaintiff now owe me the legal fees. How do I collect? Can I collect without paying another fortune to an attorney?



Answer

Assuming that more than 21 days have now elapsed and without the plaintiff refiling, you should check with your attorney to determine whether the awarding of these attorney fees in this sustained demurrer now amounts in effect to a valid and legally collectable judgment against this plaintiff or whether you must now file something else to make it so.
