Legal Question in Personal Injury in New Jersey

Re: My lawsuit

It is always difficult to know what is really going on when another attorney is handling the case.

Yes, you can request a copy of all of the documents in your case. Your attorney will be very reluctant to give these to you, because it means you are questioning what the attorney is doing.

I could review all of the documents for you, and give you an opinion. I have no way to know whether I can help you or not. If you would like me to assist, please call my office. A half hour consultation will be $75.00.

Yes, you can get your file back and you should. Take it and see another attorney.

Re: My lawsuit

You always have a right to see your file, however possesion is retained by the attorney as a lein until the expenses are satsified or arrangments are made.

You can demand to see the file and havea right to do so. If the attoreny refuses you should contact the Office of Attorney Ethics.

As to changing lawyers, typically you can do this at anytime with no cost to you in addition. The new and old attorney have to resolve the fees and expenses without any increase in the fee to you.

It is unusual to have an offer pulled. This generally means that there has been a change that signifies that your position is weaker, except for a very rare circumstance where the issue is personalities.

As to one of the other attorneys who offered to look at the file for the fee, I advise against that. If the case is worth taking it is worth reviewing at no charge.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or wish to discuss this case. I can be reached at 800-34 NJ LAW.
