If you think getting a divorce for $210 is expensive, you are not being realistic. You and the lawyer should have signed a written retainer agreement at the outset which set forth her fees and what services she would be rendering. Then there would be no misunderstanding now.

Your note is confusing. Are you talking about $210.00 or $210,000.00? Is there a retainer agreement? Divorce is not cheap. You should have a signed agreement setting forth what you will be charged.
