If the result promised by the lawyer is not achieved, can I ask for a refund?

Legal analysis: no, as long as you work, you should be paid. Lawyers don't promise the outcome of the case, which is not allowed by law. There is no uniform standard for attorney fees, which can be determined by both parties through consultation. To implement the risk agency fee, the law firm shall sign a risk agency fee contract with the client, and stipulate the risk responsibility, charging method, charging amount or proportion that both parties should bear. The maximum risk agency fee shall not be higher than 30% of the target amount agreed in the charging contract.

Legal basis: Article 11 of the Measures for the Administration of Fees for Lawyers' Services stipulates that in handling civil cases involving property relations, if the client still asks for risk agency after learning the government-guided price, the law firm may implement risk agency fees, except for the following circumstances:

(1) Marriage and inheritance cases;

(2) Requesting social insurance benefits or minimum living security benefits;

(3) Requesting to pay alimony, alimony, alimony, pension, relief fund and compensation for work-related injuries;

(4) Request for payment of labor remuneration, etc.
