Purpose of acceptance fee


Dear PAO,


I have a problem regarding my land, which is also being claimed by my neighbor. I am now contemplating on filing a suit against my neighbor and have already talked to several lawyers who have asked for an acceptance fee. I am willing to pay the said fee, but I would like to know if I can demand a refund, assuming I terminate the services of that lawyer. What is the purpose of this kind of fee?
