Attorney | Steven S. Biss |
Client | Devin Nunes |
Is Current | yes |
Notes | paying for five lawsuits all worth six figures or more in legal fees seems unlikely, unless he came into a huge source of income in 2019 that has not yet been reported. There’s one explanation that could be more feasible, according to campaign finance and legal experts: Nunes could be paying for the cases by promising to award a contingency fee to Biss if they succeed. A contingency fee is a percentage of whatever monetary damages Nunes would be awarded if he wins the lawsuits. That would require Biss to front the costs of the lawsuits in exchange for a huge potential win down the line. |
