Re: Termination, how do I go about firing my solicitor, for unethical behavoir
I suspect that your question on how to terminate your solicitor's retainer is only the tip of the iceberg. there is no particular difficulty in terminating your instructions to this solicitor and this can take immediate effect on giving written notice.
Unethical behaviour by a solicitor is both a breach of the implied terms of the contract under which he was working for you and this can give rise to a claim in damages for any loss suffered. It is also a matter which would be investigated by the solicitors professional body who have power to order the solicitor to pay you an amount in compensation.
I would be happy to advise further if you care to contact us with details of the matter.
