The client may consult with the law firm according to the rights and obligations of both parties and the liability for breach of contract agreed in the agency contract signed with the law firm.
The agency fee charged by a lawyer is the service fee for handling legal affairs on his behalf. There are many ways to provide legal services, including searching for information, answering questions, investigating and collecting evidence, and writing documents. Appearing in court is just one of them.
If the lawyer is appointed to represent the case, but the lawyer cannot file the case for some reason after collecting the fee, then the agency will be terminated, so that all or part of the agency fee can be recovered. As for the number, it depends on the degree of lawyer representation and the degree of consent. If the lawyer doesn't answer, he can complain to the Bar Association.
Lawyers' fees are usually paid by those who ask lawyers to help them defend themselves. Therefore, there is no special provision that the lawyer's fee cannot be refunded, because it is the fee for hiring a lawyer.

Article 30
If there is a dispute over the lawyer's service fee, the law firm shall settle it through consultation with the client. If negotiation fails, the applicant may apply to the lawyers association, the judicial administrative department and the competent price department where the law firm is located for mediation, or apply for arbitration or bring a lawsuit to the people's court.
