More details to this question:
Should an attorney keep retainer fee for a case that automatically was vacated by courts before court date? No attorney did not have anything to do until court date. I was hired on 10/24/2011 clerical error found on 10/23/2011 and vacated. I plead guilty on 1/1/11/2010 this hearing was on violation of probation. The wrong information was faxed to court and has been fixed.

The attorney should account for his time and refund the difference.

Look to the contract and speak with the attorney. I'm sure he'd rather keep a happy potential client than have a grievance filed against him.
