Re: Replace Lawyer

Sounds like it will be very, very difficult to get another attorney up to speed and ready to try the case in that short time period. And expensive.

If you asked me to take over the case, I would want to be sure BEFORE I took the case that 1. you had a very, very very very good reason to change lawyers now. 2. that I would without any doubt whatsoever have enough time to get ready and if not, that I would definitely be able to get an adjournment to let me get ready. Without these, PLUS a good case that should have a trial (not frivolous, and you have a well founded claim), I just would not take the case.

Good luck to you. You will need it.
