When should I fire my personal injury lawyer?

By Ben Sessions on January 4th, 2023 in Personal Injury, Tips of the Day

There may be times when it is appropriate to consider firing your personal injury lawyer. Some common reasons for doing so may include:

  1. Lack of communication: If your lawyer is not responsive to your calls or emails, or if you feel like you are not being kept informed about the status of your case, it may be time to consider finding a new lawyer.
  2. Lack of progress: If your case is not moving forward or if there has been little progress made, it may be time to consider finding a new lawyer.
  3. Lack of trust: If you no longer feel confident in your lawyer’s ability to handle your case or if you do not trust their judgment, it may be time to consider finding a new lawyer.
  4. Conflict of interest: If you believe that your lawyer has a conflict of interest or is representing another party in a way that is adverse to your interests, it may be time to consider finding a new lawyer.

It’s important to remember that firing your personal injury lawyer is a serious decision and should not be taken lightly. Before making the decision to fire your lawyer, it may be helpful to speak with them to try to address any concerns you have. If you do decide to fire your lawyer, make sure to do so in writing and provide a clear explanation for your decision.

Will I owe my personal injury lawyer money if I fire him?

If you decide to fire your personal injury lawyer, you may owe them money for the work they have done on your case. Whether or not you owe your lawyer money will depend on the terms of your fee agreement.

If you have a contingency fee agreement, you may owe your lawyer a percentage of the damages recovered in the case. If you have a hourly fee agreement, you may owe your lawyer for the time they have spent working on your case.

It’s important to carefully review and understand the terms of your fee agreement before deciding to fire your lawyer. If you have any concerns about your fee arrangement, it’s a good idea to discuss them with your lawyer before making the decision to terminate the relationship. If you are unable to resolve your concerns, you may want to consider seeking the advice of another attorney.
