Hunter Biden owes the law firm that represented him in federal investigations, including his Delaware gun case, “substantially in excess of $50,000,” according to a lawsuit filed against the former first son on Monday.
“This is breach of contract action against Mr. Biden for unpaid legal fees,” reads the complaint against Hunter filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia by Winston & Strawn LLP.
The lawsuit notes that Hunter, 55, hired Winston & Strawn “to represent him in several complex matters, including criminal trial in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,” and that the firm provided him “with extensive legal services in those matters which generated a substantial amount of fees.”
Winston & Strawn claims Hunter has dodged the firm’s “repeated” efforts to collect those fees.
“Although a portion of those fees have been paid, Mr. Biden presently owes [Winston & Strawn] substantially in excess of $50,000 in fees and interest that are due and payable,” the complaint stated.
“Despite repeated requests for payment, Mr. Biden has failed to pay the amounts he owes.
(…) The firm said it “incurred substantial financial damages” because of Hunter’s alleged “breach of the Engagement Contract.”
An initial hearing in the case is slated for Sept. 19. (Read more: New York Post, 6/23/2025) (Archive)
