Lawyer fees after judgment

Can an attorney who withdrew from a divorce case (and who never asked for payment) continue to bill his ex-client for fees over and above the judgment amount and expect to be paid these fees?

If the contract entitles him to payment for the work he has done, the answer is yes-so long as the bill reflects reasonable fees for work reasonably related to the services for which the attorney was hired.

I hope this helps,
