Elite Law Firm Demands Payment from First Son

Winston & Strawn LLP, a prestigious law firm that represented Hunter Biden in multiple federal investigations, has filed a lawsuit against the former first son for unpaid legal fees. The suit, filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, claims that Hunter owes “substantially over $50,000” despite having received legal representation for serious criminal matters that ultimately led to felony convictions before his father’s controversial pardon. The legal action reveals that Hunter’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, billed at a staggering rate of $1,510 per hour, with other firm members charging between $230 and $1,945 hourly.

“Hunter Biden owes the law firm that represented him in federal investigations, including his Delaware gun case, substantially over $50,000”, according to a lawsuit filed against the former first son on Monday.

The engagement contract was signed on December 23, 2022, for representation in various legal matters, including Hunter’s Delaware gun case, where he was eventually convicted of three felonies. The lawsuit states that substantial resources were devoted to his defense, resulting in significant legal fees. While some payments were made between March 2023 and October 2024, a substantial amount remains unpaid despite numerous attempts by the firm to collect the debt. An initial hearing is scheduled for September 19, 2025.

Pattern of Financial Irresponsibility

“This is a 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.

Hunter Biden’s legal troubles have been extensive, culminating in convictions for gun crimes in Delaware and guilty pleas in a California tax evasion case. These legal battles were fought by high-priced attorneys whose services he apparently had no intention of paying for in full. This lawsuit highlights a consistent pattern of financial mismanagement that has characterized Hunter’s adult life, from drug addiction to questionable international business dealings that leveraged his family name. Despite receiving millions from foreign entities, Hunter apparently cannot—or will not—pay his legal bills.

“Despite repeated requests for payment, Mr. Biden has failed to pay the amounts he owes,” reads the complaint.

Hollywood Benefactor Tapped Out

A key figure in Hunter Biden’s financial support system has been Kevin Morris, a wealthy Hollywood lawyer who had been covering various legal expenses for the president’s son. According to court documents, Morris had paid attorneys on Hunter’s behalf but was reportedly financially strained by May 2024. The lawsuit suggests that this financial well has run dry, forcing Hunter to face the consequences of his financial obligations. The complaint seeks to enforce contract rights and obtain a lien on Hunter’s assets to satisfy the debt.

“Mr. Biden never objected to any of W&S’s invoices for the legal services rendered to him,” according to Winston & Strawn LLP.

This latest legal action against Hunter Biden comes after he received a controversial pardon from his father, President Joe Biden, in December 2024. Despite this extraordinary act of presidential privilege that cleared his criminal record, Hunter still feels entitled to avoid paying for the legal services that defended him through those very cases. This demonstration of entitlement is particularly galling to many Americans who have watched the Biden family leverage political power for personal gain while seemingly operating above the rules that govern ordinary citizens.
