I'm not happy with my current lawyer. Can I change attorneys?


Yes, you have the right to change your attorney at any time during your case. It's crucial to feel confident and comfortable with your legal representation, as this can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Here's an in-depth look at why you might consider changing attorneys, how the process works, and what steps to take to ensure a smooth transition.

Reasons to Consider Changing Attorneys:


Lack of Communication:Effective communication is essential in any legal case. If your attorney is not keeping you informed, returning your calls, or updating you on the progress of your case, it can be a sign that they are not fully committed to your case.


Lack of Progress: If your case seems to be dragging on with no significant progress or clear explanation, it may be time to consider a change. A good attorney should be proactive and keep the case moving forward.
Disagreements on Strategy: Sometimes, you and your attorney might have different views on how to handle your case. If these differences cannot be resolved, it might be in your best interest to find an attorney whose approach aligns with your goals.


Feeling Unheard or Unsupported: You should feel that your attorney is genuinely interested in your case and committed to fighting for your best interests. If you feel ignored or unsupported, it's a valid reason to seek new representation.


Lack of Experience or Expertise: Personal injury law can be complex, and having an experienced attorney is crucial. If you feel your current attorney lacks the necessary experience or expertise, finding a more qualified lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.


How to Change Attorneys:


Review Your Agreement:Before making any decisions, review the agreement or contract you signed with your current attorney. Look for any clauses regarding termination and any financial obligations you might have.


Consult with a New Attorney: Schedule consultations with potential new attorneys to discuss your case and your reasons for wanting to switch. Make sure the new attorney is experienced, has a good track record, and that you feel comfortable with them.


Notify Your Current Attorney: Once you've decided to switch, notify your current attorney in writing. You can do this via email or letter. Be polite and professional, and request your case file and any other relevant documents be transferred to your new attorney.


Sign a New Agreement: After you've chosen your new attorney, you'll need to sign a new agreement with them. They will typically handle the process of obtaining your case file from your previous attorney.
Transition of Your Case: Your new attorney will take over the case and handle all necessary communications and filings. They will also address any outstanding issues with your former attorney to ensure a smooth transition.
