I sued a company for willfull infringment and they admitted to infringing only after being sued. They offered a settlement of $20k only after I had $25k in legal fees. We went to trial and I got a judgement for $20k but they were only found guilty for infringment (not innocent or willfull). According to my lawyer I am not entitled to my legal fees since the offer was the same as the award yet they admitted to infringing. My legal fees are $30k I got awarded $20k so that leaves me owing $10k to my lawyer even though they broke the law and infringed my work. I thought the law was suppose to protect me and my work from thieves ! Is there anything else I can do ?
