Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Indiana Attorney charge, is this considered unreasonable?
Sept. 12th of this year my husband and I went to an attorney so he could adopt my daughter, she charged a 500.00 retainer fee which we paid., then 2 weeks later she sent me the copy of letter that will be going out to the paternal father. Sent to wrong address, and resent again. Billed an additional fee of 80.00 from our initial visit, 152.00 for filing fee, 20.00 for medical record fee, and 50. for putuative father fee Oct. 9, I had made several calls to be updated and I never recieved a return call untill one day I did get a message from her to call back. Tried for several weeks, no response. Nov. 30, another bill for a .15 hour return call fee and professional service fee for the return phone call/message she left me in the amount of 60.00. Is this legal?

The expenses for filing, adoption and putative father are standard. I can not comment on the other fees as you have not provided enough information.
