More details to this question:
The charges where dropped due to a lack of evidence before we went in for the preliminary hearing. The attorney still wants his 10000 dollars, is that legal. We gave him 5k up front then the charges were dropped before we went to court by the district attorney.

It is no longer relevant what he was looking at as punishment if the case has indeed concluded. As to the fee of the defense attorney, that is a matter of your written fee agreement with counsel. Review your agreement as to whether you hired him at an hourly rate for hours worked or for a flat fee.
