Re: Financial lock out

If you feel that you are not getting adequate representation, perhaps consider switching attorneys. Before you do that have a frank talk with your attorney, explain that you feel that there are problems. Perhaps your attorney will be responsive or at least explain his/her strategy. I generally don't like to second guess another attorney, but if you would like a second opinion, I would be glad to meet with you. Please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
