Re: Lawyer won't accept "You are terminated"

More | Report Post

I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice...I also had
this same problem. Took me six months to get the lawyer
officially off our case after he was fired by certified
return reciept letter. It took being very persistent, that's
for sure. Our state bar is a big disappointment and has let
this lawyer go on practicing despite complaints of numerous
ethical violations, some of them very serious. The
complaints are not made available to the public. If you have
any sort of settlement you might get, be sure this lawyer
you're dealing with also has not, and cannot, file a lien on
it.
