If the client has fully paid the attorney, he or she is entitled to the file. The attorney can keep a copy if he or she deisres to do so at his or her own expense.

Q 1, the answer is yes. Q 2, no, the attorney is not obligated to keep a copy if the client picks up the file, though they often do anyway.
