    Lawyers who do not refund unused retainers
    Retained NYS criminal att. With a $5,000.00 retainer. When I got fed up with him doing nothing, changed attorneys. He is now screaming QUANTUM MERUIT. Opinion?

    Hello A:

    Did you sign a retainer agreement? Did you get an itemized bill? When he "screams", quantum meruit, does he do it in writing?
