What does the defense mean??
Am I owed any wages or not??
Do I have to pay Defendants lawyer fee if I lose his case (Defendants lawyer charges 300 dollars an hour)?? If I owe Defendants lawyer on losing the case
How much money will I owe defendants lawyer approximately??

I am fighting my own case because I am owed 13,600 dollars approximately and lawers want more money to fight this case then I am owed.
