AM I ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF THE BALANCE OF MY RETAINER?

QUESTION: If I start a divorce case and then decided to drop it completely, am I entitled to the remaining balance of the retainer fee?

MY RESPONSE: You likely would be entitled to a refund of the unearned portion of the retainer fee, except as to any genuine non-refundable retainer fee or portion of the retainer fee - specifically paid to make the attorney available to you and not for the attorney's time or services.
