Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Philippines

Good day. My dad passed away without a will so I hired a lawyer to help me claim his estate. I have a half brother but he doesn't have a birth cercitificate. The lawyer kept this information from me. He processed the papers and now the bank did not accept it because of it. He is been asking money from now and then he said for the processing and he won't tell me the actual professional fee. I just want to know if this the way lawyers are being payed because a friend told me most of the time it should at the end of the case or everything has been settled? Your advice will mean a lot. Should get another lawyer? Thank you.
