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.
“This action is brought to enforce [Winston and Strawn’s] contract rights against Mr. Biden through judgment for the amount due, and lien on all Mr. Biden’s assets.”
The lawsuit includes a copy of the “engagement contract” Hunter signed on Dec. 23, 2022, for Winston & Strawn to represent him “with 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.”
Abbe Lowell, Hunter’s attorney who has since left Winston & Strawn, notes that his “current hourly rate is $1,510” 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’s request for comment.
Winston & Strawn said it “devoted substantial resources to defend” Hunter in the matters related to his engagement contract, “resulting in substantial legal fees.”
“While some of Mr. Biden’s bills were paid between March 2023 and October 2024, a substantial amount remains due and owing,” the firm stated. “Mr. Biden never objected to any of W&S’s invoices for the legal services rendered to him.
“As of April 30, 2025, the outstanding amount due, when factoring in invoiced amounts and interest, is substantially in excess of $50,000.”
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.
Winston and Strawn declined to comment on the lawsuit.
During the congressional impeachment inquiry into former President Joe Biden, Hunter’s so-called “sugar brother,” Kevin Morri,s told investigators last year he has been paying “various attorneys” on behalf of the ex-president’s 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 “completely tapped out” 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.
The post Hunter Biden sued for over $50K in unpaid legal bills, including his Delaware gun case appeared first on New York Post.
