Has Your Construction Accident Case Been Dropped By Your Attorney?
If your construction accident case was dropped by an attorney, we can help.
The answer is NO. You have the absolute right to fire your attorney and you will not need to pay any additional fees to your new attorney. At the end of the case, all of the attorneys that were involved will come to an agreement as to how to split the 1/3 attorney fee. If they cannot come to an agreement, they might ask the Court to help. But you will not be involved in this process, and it will never affect the portion of the settlement that belongs to you.
Remember – your attorney works for you. You are in charge. If you are unhappy with your attorney in any way, you have the right to end their representation in your personal injury case without losing any money.
In fact, if you hire us as your new attorney, we will relentlessly and rapidly fight to get you the highest award possible. Changing attorneys will not cost you a penny and can benefit you greatly. If your instinct is telling you that your attorney is not right for you, call us today for a free consultation.
The answer is NO. You have the absolute right to fire your attorney and you will not lose any time at all on getting your case settled or getting it trial. In fact, your case might be resolved even quicker. At The Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff we will make the transition as smooth and quick as possible. All you will need to do is sign a consent to change attorney form and we will do the rest. You will not have to speak to your prior attorney ever again.
You will then be in very capable hands at a firm where we aggressively litigate all of our cases to get the highest award possible. We know that defendant’s insurance company offers far money to our client when they are scared of losing their power to choose how much money you will get to a jury of people just like you. Of course they will be far more generous and sympathetic.
Don’t think of hiring a new attorney as having to start the process all over again – think of your case as a relay race. By hiring a new law firm you are simply passing the baton on to the next person and advancing towards the finish line.
We will fight hard to get you over that finish line quickly and successfully, as we do for all of our valued clients. In fact, if you hire Michael the Bull, your case will likely take less time than it would have with another firm.
Effective communication between you and your attorney is crucial for a successful legal representation. If your attorney is unresponsive to your calls or emails, fails to keep you updated on the progress of your case, or doesn't address your concerns promptly, it can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction.
Your attorney should have the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to handle your legal matter effectively. If you believe that your attorney lacks competence in the relevant area of law, makes frequent mistakes, or demonstrates a lack of understanding of your case, it may be a red flag that you need a new attorney.
A conflict of interest can arise if your attorney has a personal or professional relationship that interferes with their ability to represent your best interests objectively. For example, if your attorney represents another party with conflicting interests or has a financial interest in the outcome of your case, it can compromise the attorney-client relationship.
Discovering that your attorney has engaged in unethical behavior, such as dishonesty, fraud, or breach of confidentiality, can severely undermine your trust and confidence in their representation. Ethical violations can also lead to disciplinary actions by legal authorities.
It’s impossible to overstate the importance of timeliness in legal proceedings. If your attorney consistently misses deadlines, fails to attend court hearings or meetings, or neglects essential aspects of your case, it can harm your legal standing and jeopardize the outcome of your case.
You and your attorney should be aligned regarding your case's legal strategy and approach. If you disagree with your attorney's tactics, decisions, or settlement negotiations, and efforts to resolve these differences are unsuccessful, there may be a fundamental mismatch in expectations and necessitate a change in representation.
