How does a person replace an attorney in texas handling a civil workers comp retaliation case?
1. ATTORNEY DROP THE BALL ON SCHEDULING DEPOSITIONS.
2. ATTORNEY IS ATTEMPTING TO DUMP MY CASE THAT IS A BETTER CASE THAN THE SMITH VS. LOWE’S AND SAME CASE AS JONES VS. THE TORO CO. WHICH THE COMPANY WAS PUNISHED WITH A 30 MILLION VERDICT.
3. THE WRONFULL TERMINATION CASE WAS MADE BEFORE I HANDED IT TO MY ATTORNEY SO HE HAS NOT HAD TO DEVELOPE THE CASE OR WORK ON IT AT ALL..
As with any service provider (e.g., a mechanic, a maid), you can generally terminate current representation and seek new counsel. As the client, you have the power under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct to discharge your attorney at any time, with or without cause, subject to liability for payment for the lawyer’s services.
Depending on your attorney’s handling of the case, you may also have an action for legal malpractice and/or a valid grievance with the Texas bar. You have not provided enough facts here to say with any certainty. However, it may be something you want to discuss confidentially with an attorney.
