Can a lawyer represent you without your consent? -

If you did not sign a retainer but a lawyer went ahead and told an insurance company he was representing you, can the insurance company assume there was a quot;verbal contract?quot; Or do they have to have your signature to show you did indeed hire the lawyer?

If you did not hire this attorney, If you did not give him a green light to represent you, If you did not sign an agreement with this attorney,, He or She can t represent your interest to anyone. Call the Bar assoc, in your area and report this/ Call the Police dept in your area and report this, Make up a statement and have it notorized that you did not hire this attorney and that they do not represent your interest, Send this to the Insurance company,,, the Bar Assoc, and the Fraud squad of your police dept.

Did you give the lawyer verbal permission to represent you? If not, you can complain to the state bar. Normally lawyers and clients have written agreements about representation and fees. I am not a lawyer. Only licensed lawyers can give legal advise.
