Nothing prevents an attorney's prospective clients, and/or any of her/his active clients from inquiring about potential discounts/adjustments on the attorney's fees.

Additionally, nothing prevents YOU from seeking the services of other attorneys whose pricing might be more to your liking or bank account.
