Yup, paid a retainer, though I'm not sure you'll see the money you didn't "spend" 100% of the time. You should just assume you wont see the retainer again and if you do, consider it a bonus. It obviously depends on the lawyer and what kind of law..divorce, child custody, anything that's very messy, they might come up with a reason that you owe them. I briefly worked at a family law office and quit because they were so darn unethical! Then I married a prosecutor..hehe.
