Retainer

[Jellybean1307]

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.

We cannot see what you signed. Call the attorney first thing Tuesday.

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.

Appears that the OP hasn't paid anything yet.

An outrageous bill can bee addressed with a fee dispute:

Lie mode: because Mondays are evil!

Truth mode: because I thought it was some sort of Federal holiday.
