You are mixing apples with peaches. The lawyer is simply letting the court know that the filing fee for whatever document is being filed can be taken from the lawyers account with the court. Its similar to a prepaid postage account. The filing fee item though has nothing to do with the court's award of a legal fee on a motion or after a trial ( except the judge can consider the filing fees as part of a counsel fee award).
