[Fredslist] Attorney fee increase in the middle if a case?

[lglassman1 at bellsouth.net]

There should be a retainer agreement that sets the rates.

Has anyone ever heard of an attorney raising fees in the middle of a case? This happened to a client and they weren't notified until they received the bill and saw the different charges. It seems unethical to me.
What do you think? 
Thanks,
