three yearsSee N.C.G.S. 1-15(c). Simply stated, the statute of limitations is three years from the last act or omission of the attorney giving rise to the cause of action.
In most civil cases, each party is required to pay his or her own attorney's fees. However, family law is one of the few areas of the law where there is a legal basis for one party to pay the other party's legal fees. The basis for the payment of attorney's fees is found in North Carolina Statutes.
Under the North Carolina Tort Claims Act, the State has consented to be sued when persons acting on behalf of the state have been negligent. If negligence is proven, the Act authorizes payments of up to $1 million in damages for medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.
For each lawsuit, the plaintiff must pay a $96 filing fee to the clerk of court. You pay an additional $30 fee for each defendant to cover the cost of the sheriff getting the proper legal forms to the defendant.
You can ask the court for a fee waiver by filling out a court form and filing it with the court. If you have a family law case, fill out the form called Application for Waiver of Fees (#JD-FM-75).
North Carolina recognizes torts for both negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
While an actual trial in court usually takes only a few days, the pre-trial process and the process of preparing a case can take weeks or months. In especially complex cases where both sides present extensive witnesses and lots of technical evidence, even the trial process can stretch on for a long time.
After a case is settled, meaning that the case did not go to trial, the attorneys receive the settlement funds, prepare a final closing statement, and give the money to their clients. Once the attorney gets the settlement check, the clients will also receive their balance check.
