I just signed a retainer agreement and promised to pay $6000 by next Friday for a matrimonial matter. I spoke to my husband and changed my mind. Can I cancel the retainer? I live in NY.

I suggest you advise the attorney by phone on Monday but follow up with a fax saying you have reconciled and don't need his services.

Be prepared to pay for any time he has already spent with you as you may get a bill for it.

How will OP be sure that the attorney didn't rip them off? Just asking.
