Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia
I want to fire my lawyer
I was involved in an auto accident. I was the driver of my vehicle and not-at-fault. I conversed with my attorney twice in a seven month period. I called today to check the status of my case and his assistant made me aware that they had settled my case. The settlement amount was an insult, considering my injuries - and the lawyer didn't include several bills of high concern. I didn't agree to the terms and I want to know if I can fire my lawyer without being held responsible for payment of services rendered.

Report him/her to the bar. He probably has the authority to do that, but you have the right to demand that he only do as you requested. Report him to the bar.
Attorneys like this give us all a bad name.
Ask for to report him, fill out the paperwork and make his life miserable for treating you this way.

Re: I want to fire my lawyer
Beware of taking any action based on a message board like this, where only
few facts are stated. The only reasonable way to resolve it is to first see a second reputable lawyer who can look at ALL facts. At that time, the necessary action can be taken. Just as a reputable lawyer would not file a lawsuit without all facts, one should not file a bar complaint without as many facts as possible.
