What is the name of your state? Missouri
I paid a retainer fee to a Mississippi to represent me in a custody dispute. The atty my ex was using went out of business and he never got another one and took no action for a year. The court has dismissed the case. I asked my atty if I would get any $ back, since I paid $2500 and nothing was done. The reply was cash is usually not given, but my acct will be credited in case I need legal assisstance in future. Since I live in Missouri and will not need future legal services in Mississippi, shhouldn't I be given part of the$ back?
Any links to help me find more info on this is appreciated
