Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

Re: Terminating Attorney

While I'm licensed in Tennessee and not in Wisconsin, EVERY state will allow you to fire an attorney you grow disatisfied with, though you can still be required to pay for the work already done or pay whatever is required under the Representation Agreement.

If the case has already been filed, you might also need to replace the present attorney with a new one before the first attorney can be releived from the case.

This is pretty common.

Re: Terminating Attorney

Yes, send him a letter certified receipt requesting your file and any amount owed to him. Tell him date and time you will pick up the file.

What you owed him depends on the contract, read it and seek better legal advise.

Good luck!

Re: Terminating Attorney

Although I can't speak about the state in which you live, the general rule is, Yes, you can teminate the services of your attorney.

There may be a price to pay, however. Again, generally, the rule when an attorney is terminated in a contingency fee case (which yours most likely is),

is that the attorney will receive compensation at his hourly rate, plus out of pockets. There are exceptions, of course, for example when the firing was unjustified

and if there is a settlement offer pending. What is clear, however, is your right to terminate the contract.
