I was in a car accident just over a year ago. I was unable to go back to work as a massage therapist, amp; thus hired a lawyer. They really have not helped me. I try and ask questions, and the answers are short. They expect me to be at beck and call for appointments to determine my injuries, without explaining anything to me. I haven t even met the lawyer, his insurance adjuster met with me, and now she wont reply to my questions, or emails. She now has her assistant email me? I am not getting the help I need for my case. The accident was not my fault, but the fault of the other driver, making an illegal left hand turn. How can I go about firing my lawyer, without having to pay, as my case isn t finished yet?
Try to find a new lawyer first. You may have to sue your old lawyer, and he might sue you for $$$$ for whatever work he did perform. Your new lawyer should be ready to help you against your old lawyer too.
You send a letter to the lawyer saying quot;You re fired. Please send my file to lt;name and address of new lawyergt;.quot; READ the agreement you signed with the lawyer, but generally, the lawyer will include in the retainer a clause that says they get paid for the work they did on the file up to the point they were fired. So ask for a bill NOW!! RIGHT NOW!!! So that you challenge it! Their bill will become a lien on the settlement or judgment.
I agree 100% with the previous answerer.
