Legal Question in Legal Ethics in New York

billing disputes

Is is customary for a lawyer to charge clients if they have questions regarding their bill? This does not seem fair to me. I am disputing my mother's litigation bill. Lawyer left the firm after the end of the case. She did not inform us and the firm never informed us. We did not receive the closing binder until 3 months after the case and there were (3) pieces of paper in it.
