Legal Question in Administrative Law in Massachusetts
Type Your Question Here... Q I am a private individual represented by a prestigious law firm in Ma. We are leading to a summary judgment in superior court. Be fore the summery judgment has been delivered the firm demands payment of 75k in fees or they will withdraw from the case and not deliver summary judgment to the court. The legal firm has been paid to date over 75k in fees in a case for over 4 years. Can they do this? Are there any options if they choose to withdraw legally.

You don't provide enough information for me to give you a definitive answer. Generally speaking however, your counsel cannot simply withdraw from the case whenever they choose. What they would have to do is to file a motion with the Court to grant them permission to withdraw.
