There are always WC lawyers out there, but they are going to under why you didn't settle at mediation and why your lawyer dropped the case as a result.
They all operate on the same premise: it's a volume practice and the money needs to be relatively easy.
If you were unreasonable, it's going to come out. The fact that you refused settlement is not in your favor, because it means there was money on the table.
If your case is too hard, then you'd better be prepared to look a while for a WC attorney to take your case on.
