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.

If a client drops a lawsuit is the lawyer still entitled to fees on a contingency agreement?
It's possible that the attorney is entitled to some remuneration because his client (you) won't let him proceed. What kind of contract did a client enter into with his attorney? Certainly the attorney isn't compensated if he loses the case - that's usually what a contingency is all about. No win, no pay. But if you tell your attorney you wish to drop the suit, that's another matter. The contingency agreement only applies if your lawyer tries and fails, not if you throw in the towel and call him off. Good luck with this one.
If the client drops stolen contraband into the lawyer's lap the lawyer must?
immediately advise the client to remove the stolen contraband and explain the legal consequences of possessing stolen goods. The lawyer should not participate in or facilitate any illegal activity and should prioritize maintaining the integrity of the legal profession. The lawyer may also have a duty to report the possession of stolen property to the appropriate authorities.

What to do when your lawyer drops your case because he does not have time?
This depends on the laws and court rules of the state the case is in and on the stage the litigation is in. Most courts allow the lawyer to drop the case prior to some point in time for any reason. In NJ the lawyer can drop out at anytime prior to the Pre-trial hearing, but notification of that has to be given to you and the court. After a pre-trial, if there is one, the lawyer has to ask permission of the court to withdraw. The reason is that changing lawyers this late in the case will only cause a delay and courts do not want this to happen. If the lawyer is allowed to simply drop the case, all you need do is hire another. The first lawyer will send the new lawyer all the information there is on the case so far. The new lawyer will determine if more time is needed to prepare for trial. If so, an application may be made for additional time, which is usually granted if there is some justifiable reason for it. If the case is at the pre-trial stage the court may allow the first lawyer to withdraw and give you a short time to find another lawyer. You better find one in that time or you might find yourself handling the case yourself. Sometimes, if it is very close to the trial date, the court will not allow the lawyer to withdraw at all and make that lawyer stay in the case, unless it it impossible or some severe injustice would be done to the lawyer or the client.
