Re: Lawyer

It is always your right to terminate the services of your attorney if you are not truly happy with his/her services. I would suggest that you do everything possible to discuss your concerns with your lawyer prior to any termination of services. This would include calling his/her office and requesting an appointment, and follow it up with a letter. If that does not work, and you are still not satisfied, you may wish to seriously consider hiring another attorney. Please remember that your current attorney may retain a lien for attorney's fee and costs for any time he has put into your case. Should you have any further questions, please let me know...
