Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Maryland

You definitly need to consult with another attorney for assisstance with this matter. If the claim has been denied and your attorney is refusing to take the matter to Court you may have valid grounds to discharge lawyer #1 and hire another. Worst case scenario, your lawyer may be entitled to the "reasonable value of his services" but based upon your description of what he has done thus far, this may not be that much at all.

You should be able to hire new counsel under these circumstances. The only issue is having your new attorney work things out with your former attorney. Since the former attorney is not willing to take the matter to trial, he will probably have to back out without making any claim to money in teh event you recover. Give me a call if you want to chat quickly about how to get this done.

If you are not satisfied with the attorney you hired, you have the absolute right to discharge him. It is important that you to retain an attorney who has experience with medical negligence cases. Your concern about the statute of limitations is legitimate. I would be happy to discuss your potential case with you. Feel free to call.
