Does a defendant have a right to contest the imposition of a fee for attorney fees?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Saldana, C051823 (Cal. App. 5/25/2007), C051823 (Cal. App. 2007):
Defendant did not object to the imposition of the fee or any lack of notice. Accordingly, he has forfeited his right to contest the adequacy of his notice. (People v. Whisenand (1995) 37 Cal.App.4th 1383, 1395-1396.) He was also given adequate notice, having been informed at arraignment that he would be ordered to pay attorney fees if it is determined he has the ability to pay.
