There is never any harm in asking. Consider what your basis would be for the reduction request. Read your retainer agreement. Did she perform the services as agreed? Attorney's work hard to earn their fees (yes, I am biased). It wouldn't seem fair to allow her to work on your behalf and then unilaterally change the terms of your agreement by refusing to pay her.
