legal fees for contract review

I am wondering if the fees paid to a lawyer for review of an employment contract are deductible as a miscellaneous deduction Line 23 on Schedule A?

Thanks.

Hi, I would say that the money you spend on legal fees to review an employment contract would definitely be deductible as a miscellaneous itemized deduction.
