Can I get a refund if I hired a lawyer but didn't do anything?

Legal analysis: In general, unless there is sufficient evidence to prove that the lawyer has failed to perform the relevant statutory duties and is seriously irresponsible, the lawyer's fee cannot be refunded.

Legal basis: Article 16 of the Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees. When accepting the entrustment, a law firm shall sign a contract with the client for charging lawyer services, or stipulate the charging terms in the entrustment contract.

The charging contract or charging terms shall include: charging items, charging standards, charging methods, charging amounts, payment and settlement methods, dispute settlement methods, etc.
