Somebody that I know is facing some alleged domestic violence charges. Once the charges were filed they hired a lawyer with a $3500 retainer to represent them all the way up to trial. Unfortunately, his lawyer died about a week ago. As a result, he had to fork over another $3500 to another lawyer to take the case. Since his first lawyer was contracted to represent him up until trial, but was not able to fulfill his end of the contract due to death, are there any steps for remediation or where does he start to be able to get compensated for his original $3500?
