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.

It depends on your retainer agreement. Usually attorneys would continue to provide you legal services and file paperwork with court and charge you interest on paid fees.

Read your retainer agreement and make the necessary payment. If not look for a more reliable and understanding attorney for your needs.

Generally the attorney will be allowed to keep any retainer and bill the client for a fair amount based upon the work that has already been done. If the suit was taken on a contingency basis and the plaintiff/client drops the suit the attorney can still bill the client for the amount stated in the terms of the contractual agreement.
