Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Retainer agreement

I retained a bankruptcy attorney last year at a cost of $500. He informed me that the retainer was non-refundable, but that the amount would be applied to the ultimate cost of representation. To date, he has done no work on my behalf because I have not yet filed for bankruptcy. The only communication we have had in almost one year has been via e-mail, dispensing general information that would have been presumably provided to anyone by way of his web site.

Subsequent to his retention, I was informed that the statute of limitations for consumer debt in California is four (4) years. The statute has run. I wish to have all or a portion of the retainer refunded to me. How may I pursue such a course of action?

Thank you.
