She doesn't have a lisp anymore. She did have a lisp because she used a retainer (which she calls a flipper - which she reveals in her book).

Can an attorney charge two retainer fees?

Generally, unless the fees are excessive, attorneys are free to charge as much or as little as they want, and do so with whatever fee schedule they want. If the client does not like the billing method, they can hire a different attorney. It is common for attorneys to charge a set retainer that they bill against. Once that retainer has been used, they would then ask that the retainer be replenished.
