Answer:

Dr Attorney Fee Expense $3500
Cr Attorney Fee Payables $3500
On May 12,
Dr Attorney Fee Payables $3500
Cr Cash Account $3500
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay here the attorney fee is the legal fee expense that was accrued in April and must accounted for as accrued expense. The accounting entry would be increase in payables (Credit) and expense (Debit) as well.
Dr Attorney Fee Expense $3500
Cr Attorney Fee Payables $3500
Now on May 12, the company paid the expense which means that the legal fee payable was reduced to zero (Reduction in liabilities is always debited) and the cash is also reduced by $3500 (Asset reduction is always credited).
Dr Attorney Fee Payables $3500
Cr Cash Account $3500
