It depends on the situation.

Yes - If a check is lost or stolen then it is perfectly legal to cancel it

No - If you have given it as a means of payment for some goods or services and you owe the other party money. In this case, the other party will not get paid the money and they can initiate legal action against you for not paying them.

It depends on the specific terms of your retainer agreement with the attorney. Generally, if no services have been rendered, you may be able to cancel the check or request a refund. However, it is important to carefully review the terms of your agreement and consult with the attorney directly to understand your rights and obligations.

If you receive a check in the mail but did not ask for it and there was no agreement is this legal?

This is legal to use as long as the party giving the check is contacted and confirms the fact that they gave you the check. Otherwise it may have been given by a third party and to use it would bring you trouble with the law. Added: Additionally - by endorsing the check in order to cash it, you might be legally committing yourself to certain obligations (i.e.: switching phone or cable service, for example).
