I am filling out my Schedule C for legal services. I paid other lawyers a portion of my fees for work that they did. Where do I list this expense?

They are contractors, under Contract Labor (subcontractor payments, independent contractor payments, or other contract labor expenses)

You may have a 1099-MISC reporting requirement, depending on if you paid any of them more than $600.  Turbo Tax can walk you through that.  Click on Help me prepare and file W-2s and 1099s on the screen shown below.
