Firing a lawyer???????????

I hired a lawyer last week to handle an accident lawsuit. I signed papers for him to represent me with his secretary but now i am thinking to go to another lawyer simply because my current lawyer is never availible to talk to me nor have i met him yet. Is it possible to fire him now?

You need to write a letter stating that you no long wish to have (attorney names) represent you in my case. Mail or take it in to the attorney's office. If you left behind any documents now might be the time to go and pick them up.

You just hired the guy last week. Maybe he has been in court on another case. Remember he has other clients..

Sometimes attorneys will wait until they have all the information, police reports etc. before talking to their client so that they can see the big picture and all.

When you get your new attorney, ask him or her to do the firing for you. You're the boss...as long as you're willing to pay.

yes! but you may owe some type of fees even though you have not formally met with him in person. i suggest that you read the papers that you signed to see what the terms of service are before making a decision.

You can fire a lawyer at any time. However, you'll need to pay the reasonable value of the lawyer's services during the period of time he worked for you. Since it's only been a few days, he probably hasn't done much with your case so my guess is you won't owe him very much money at all.

It sure is. you can fire him any time. It's your suit, not his
