Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

Re: Attorney died,firm withdrawing representation.

First of all, under no circumstances should you permit your lawsuit to be dismissed unless and until there is a settlement. If you seek to represent yourself in this matter, you may cause yourself some complications unless you're a pretty sophisticated litigant. Be very careful. Strongly suggest you obtain counsel.

If you have other questions, please call. If you miss me, leave a number. I'll answer what I can over the phone. I don't charge any fees for such consultations.

Re: Attorney died,firm withdrawing representation.

I would not recommend for you to represent yourself specially when a lawsuit has already been filed. There are deadlines that if you miss, your case may be dismissed and you will not recover anything. That is the insurance company will win on a technicality.

This is a very sensitive time for your lawsuit. You must hire another attorney at once and continue with your case if you want to have any hope of being compensated fairly for your loss.

Unless you have legal training, you are not in a position to prosecute your case on your own--that is unless you can be happy with a feast full of air as compensation.

If I can be of more help, I will be more than happy to guide you further.

I hope this helps,

Re: Attorney died,firm withdrawing representation.

I am an attorney located in Munster, Indiana and am licensed in Indiana (19 years)and Illinois (25 years).

The defense attorney will not be withdrawing and in fact will try to push the case because you do not have an attorney. It is not his job to be fair, it is his job to do what is best for the insurance company and its insured.

You are at a decided disadvantage if you choose to try to negotiate with the insurance company and/or its lawyer as they are trained to do what is best for the insurance company, not you.

I would be happy to review your case at no charge. Please call for an appointment.

Re: Attorney died,firm withdrawing representation.

You can hire another attorney who will substitute in for your former attorney. Or, you can choose to proceed on your own, and negotiate your own settlement.

Re: Attorney died,firm withdrawing representation.

You are free to negotiate a settlement

directly with the insurer or with

the defense attorney. You do risk

undervaluing your claim or making statements that can be used against you.

You would have no risk in obtaining

a free consultation with a personal

injury attorney which we would

be glad to provide.
