How do you fire your lawyer and get a new one?
If you do decide to fire your lawyer, you should send him or her a certified letter stating plainly that you are terminating your relationship and that the attorney should cease working on your case.
Can I fire my lawyer before settlement?
You cannot fire your first lawyer and not compensate him or her for the legal services. In most personal injury cases, you sign a contingency fee agreement that gives your attorney a certain percentage of your settlement if you win, along with deductions for any costs incurred during the case process.
Can I fire my lawyer and get my money back?
That means whether you fire your attorney, or your attorney quits, you may be entitled to a refund for any paid-for services not yet rendered. However, you almost certainly won’t get a refund on work the lawyer has already performed, regardless of how dissatisfied you may be with the outcome or progress of your case.
