Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

I have cancer and a few months ago a situation arose where I thought I should talk with a finacial advisor with questions on leaving my estate to my children. The financial advisor thought we should talk to a lawyer because he thought we needed to cover all situations. At no time was there ever any mention about a fee being involved, not even to the Financail Advisor who set up the appointment. A couple days ago I got a bill bill for services rendered by the lawyer. Can he do this?
