A client approaches a lawyer, seeking legal advice and representation.
If the lawyer decides to take the case, the lawyer and the client write up a contract setting forth rates of payment, etc.
The retainer is usually an initial deposit of payment, to cover aat least some of the work that the attorney is going to do.

When you agree to "Contract" an Attorney He will in some cases waive the retainer fees and attach them to holdings, or collateral. By doing this, win, lose, or draw, He at least gets his retainer out of you. And when you sign that contract you are then obligated to the Attorney for the amount agreed upon for "Retainer".
