Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Maryland
reneg
My Maryland lawyer agreed to take my case on contingency and
we both signed a contract that he drew up. Later he told me
and sent a letter that said although he knew that my case
was valid and that he could win it, he did not think it
would amount to more than a few million dollars. He though
he would not be able to get as much money from my case as he
could from other cases and declined the case.
I do not want to have to take him to court. But he signed a
contract and I spent almost a year with him on this. I would
like to ''make it within his interest'' to take the case again
as the malpractive alternative would be less acceptable.
Thank you and at a later time I will be able to tell you the
whole story. It would be a ''once in a lifetime'' story

Re: reneg
an attorney can almost always get out of representing a client. considering it is a contingency agreement, it is even easier. without more facts, i think your best option is finding new representation.
