You asked, "Is it common to ask the lawyer for a discount on the fee if the case is not that complicated?"

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.
