Our children were removed from out home by CPS. We hired our own lawyer, and we explained to him from the beginning that all we could afford right now was the $1000 retainer fee. It has dragged on for the past three months. And our lawyer told us he would stick with us. We are now waiting for a decision from the judge. We called our lawyer this morning and his secretary said he was not going to file the judgement until he got most of his fee that is outstanding. My question is, is this ethical? Especially since he told us he would stick with us?
