Re: Retain
You should consult your fee agreement to see what it says about terminating your attorney. Typically, the unused portion of your retainer can be refunded, sometimes even if the fee agreement says that it is non-refundable.
The SC Bar has a Fee Dispute Resolution Board that you may want to consult for assistance. You can learn more about this option at http://www.scbar.org/public_services/fee_disputes/
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
