retainers
I recently retained a lawyer to pursue a civil suit but have changed my mind and do not wish to proceed. Can I get back my retainer minus work done?

It depends on what your fee agreement says, but more than likely, not. You are entitled to a copy of your fee agreement, however, so you should feel free to ask him for a copy.

Yes, you can recover what remains of your retainer fee minus any expenses (court costs, attorney fees etc.) incurred in pursing your case.
