Maybe. It may depend on the type of fee you agreed to pay as well as other factors. Rule 1.5 of the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct makes it an ethical violation for lawyers to charge an unreasonable fee and provides eight factors for determining the reasonableness of a fee, one of which is the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved in a case. Every state bar association has a rule like this and if you are unable to work something out with your lawyer after bringing the questionable fees to their attention, you can report them to the state bar. Furthermore, make sure that everything you are being billed for was agreed to in the retainer agreement and to ask as many questions about your bill as you want. If your lawyer is billing you by the hour, you have a right to know how those hours were spent.
