A Dictionary of Law
A general relainer of an attorney or solicilor “merely gives a right to expect professional service when requested, but none which is not requested. It binds the person retained not to take a fee from another against his retainer, but to do nothing except what he is asked to do, and for this he is to be distinctly paid.”
6 R. I. 206.
