This answer does not create an attorney/client relationship. You state you paid him in full, but you do not state the terms of the contract (what services were to be provided for what fee agreement). If he now works in the Solicitor's Office, there would be a conflict of interest, but he is not entitled to keep a fee for any work that has not been done. Please try to be more specific. What did you pay the attorney to do for you? What has he done? Finally, he can not keep fees that go beyond the work done.
