You simply look at the contract that you have with the current lawyer, and it should tell you exactly what your rights are if you decide to switch lawyers, how much money can be refunded to you. And our state bar regulations do not allow lawyers to charge people money for work that they have not done.
If you hire a firm like our firm, we will take over that agreement. Your contingency fee is not going to change. We will take care of the lawyer who represented you before. If you have any questions about this process at all, or if you just want a second opinion, to make sure that your lawyer is doing what he or she is supposed to do in your case to make it as successful as possible, feel free to give me a call. I hope to hear from you soon. Many people want to switch lawyers in the middle of their cases but are afraid it will cost them extra or hurt their case.
If you retain the personal injury lawyers at our firm, we will pay any money your former attorney is owed. Call our personal injury lawyers if you want to change lawyers or want a second opinion. If we can help you, we will, and the call is free and confidential.

There may be some misunderstandings that can be cleared up easily with direct communication.
You may want to write your concerns down and request a written response, which may be easier for both of you. If you are still unhappy or uncomfortable, you have a right to terminate the lawyer-client relationship and find a new lawyer. If you decide to change counsel, it is best to have the next lawyer lined up and ready to take over your case. If your original lawyer appeared on your behalf in court and is on record as your lawyer, you can change lawyers by filing a Consent to Change Counsel signed by the retiring counsel and you as the party.
Certain courts require that the Consent to Change Counsel be ordered by the court. If you have not lined up new counsel, the process may be more complicated and you may need to proceed without counsel. Once you retain a new lawyer, the counsel will be required to file a notice of appearance with the court to act as your counsel. However, if a corporation is a party to the lawsuit, the corporation must have a new lawyer ready to take over the case as lawyer of record, because a corporation is not allowed to represent itself.
Your lawyer can withdraw from your case if you are given adequate notice and an opportunity to find a new lawyer. In general, your lawyer will first ask you to agree to end the relationship, but if you do not agree, the court can allow your lawyer to withdraw from your case anyway. If there is a disagreement or your lawyer wants to withdraw without your permission, an order from the court will be required.
