Hunter Biden owes the law firm that represented him in federal investigations, including his Delaware gun case, 鈥渟ubstantially in excess of $50,000,鈥 according to a lawsuit filed against the former first son on Monday.
鈥淭his is breach of contract action against Mr. Biden for unpaid legal fees,鈥 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 鈥渢o represent him in several complex matters, including criminal trial in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,鈥 and that the firm provided him 鈥渨ith extensive legal services in those matters which generated a substantial amount of fees.鈥
Winston & Strawn claims Hunter has dodged the firm鈥檚 鈥渞epeated鈥 efforts to collect those fees.
鈥淎lthough 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,鈥 the complaint stated. 鈥淒espite repeated requests for payment, Mr. Biden has failed to pay the amounts he owes.
鈥淭his action is brought to enforce [Winston and Strawn鈥檚] contract rights against Mr. Biden through judgment for the amount due, and lien on all Mr. Biden鈥檚 assets.鈥
The lawsuit includes a copy of the 鈥渆ngagement contract鈥 Hunter signed on Dec. 23, 2022, for Winston & Strawn to represent him 鈥渨ith respect to any congressional oversight and investigation events in which you are involved, help your coordinate the work of other attorneys, advisors, related parties on pending issues and communications strategy, and assist in the investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and US Attorney for the District of Delaware.鈥
Abbe Lowell, Hunter鈥檚 attorney who has since left Winston & Strawn, notes that his 鈥渃urrent hourly rate is $1,510鈥 and that billing rates for other attorneys and legal assistants at the firm, who may work on his cases, range from $230 to $1,945 an hour.
Lowell did not immediately respond to The Post鈥檚 request for comment.
Winston & Strawn said it 鈥渄evoted substantial resources to defend鈥 Hunter in the matters related to his engagement contract, 鈥渞esulting in substantial legal fees.鈥
鈥淲hile some of Mr. Biden鈥檚 bills were paid between March 2023 and October 2024, a substantial amount remains due and owing,鈥 the firm stated. 鈥淢r. Biden never objected to any of W&S鈥檚 invoices for the legal services rendered to him.
鈥淎s of April 30, 2025, the outstanding amount due, when factoring in invoiced amounts and interest, is substantially in excess of $50,000.鈥
The firm said it 鈥渋ncurred substantial financial damages鈥 because of Hunter鈥檚 alleged 鈥渂reach of the Engagement Contract.鈥
An initial hearing in the case is slated for Sept. 19.
Winston and Strawn declined to comment on the lawsuit.
During the congressional impeachment inquiry into former President Joe Biden, Hunter鈥檚 so-called 鈥渟ugar brother,鈥 Kevin Morri,s told investigators last year he has been paying 鈥渧arious attorneys鈥 on behalf of the ex-president鈥檚 son.
In May 2024, less than a month before Hunter would stand trial in Delaware in the felony gun case, Morris reportedly told associates that he was 鈥渃ompletely tapped out鈥 amid mounting legal bills.
Hunter, who has raked in nearly $1.5 million selling abstract artwork, was convicted of three felonies in the Delaware gun case and later pleaded guilty to all charges in a California tax evasion case.
He was pardoned by his father in December, just weeks before President Biden left office.
