Your second paragraph is answered "It depends." The devil is in the wording of the documents.
The first paragraph does not ask a question.
If your question is only one question involving both paragraphs, again the answer would be "It depends."

Refuse the settlement, speak with the managing partner, and get to the bottom of it. You can also acquire a new attorn4y but there are a lot of factors to consider there. You can also contact the GA Bar for guidance, as a lot of "volume" personal injury lawyers violate the law and... View More
The birth mother signed a Post Adoption contact agreement thinking that we would be able to keep in contact with the adoptive parents. The attorney never said that both parties needed to sign. I’ve recently learned that they never signed an agreement. This would have been a dealbreaker in our... View More

Get an adoption attorney on the job immediately. You are under a time deadline. Don’t delay.
Do this clause give my attorney the right to cash my check?... Even if I did not agree to the recovery amount of the settlement. Can he cash and deposit my check?
I fired my attorney and when it came down to my new attorney requesting the check the check had been cashed.

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This sounds like something that has to be sorted out between your incoming and outgoing attorneys, and possibly the carrier, depending on how it's handled. Good luck

The lawyer said things to the adoptive parents the day of our daughter’s birth that neither one of us said, nor told her to say. We weren’t aware of the worst possible outcomes in adoption either. If we had a clue that it would be like this we would’ve never done it. How is this legal? How... View More

Was this your lawyer or the lawyer for the other person? What was written out in the papers that were signed? You may want to consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and present you with any options you may have.
And if so... to what extent?

Only licensed attorneys are authorized to give legal advice to the public.
Lawyer represents a defendant in a Aggravated assault case against the victim who he represents in a family law matter. Defendant and Victim are in a relationship. Isn’t this an issue?

The way you have described it there could be a conflict of interest, but we would need to know more about the facts in detail.

This law group was not her or her husband's attorney. They were fishing for work. She did not know they were getting a divorce and had not even been served yet. This law group had her case number and name of the judge. Is this not legal to solicit work like that?

This is legal. Solicitation by mail is allowed per the State Bar rules. They searched the public records for divorce filings and mailed her a notice. This is why I do not include the addresses of my clients in the petition, to prevent this from happening.

Your private property may be in a city that makes discharging a firearm in the city limits illegal. Plus, in some or residential neighborhoods, covenants prevent such activities due to disruption of the neighbors due to loud noises.
I got that percentage amount from my statement of distribution
answered on Apr 8, 2020
The document which controls what you pay your attorney is known as the "Fee Agreement." You signed that document when you first hired your attorney. I suggest asking your attorney to forward that document to you. It will indicate what percentage you agreed to pay your attorney in the... View More
For example, when a person claims they were present when a crime took place, would they have to prove this in anyway or is any person who claims to know something about a case accepted?
answered on Jan 16, 2020
This is typically proven in court on direct and/or cross examination. This is the importance of good legal counsel. If you haven’t already, it is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case and provide you with tailored representation.

Ask the secretary to schedule a time for you to speak with him or a visit.

answered on Oct 22, 2019
I suggest you set up a time for an in person visit with the attorney or the paralegal. Initially there may be a wait while they wait for records which can take some time, but they should be able to tell you what's going on.
The person who deposited the check in my account forged my signature. The loan was for $901.70.
answered on Jun 25, 2019
Yes. Why? Because you are the only person who has (or had) the $901.70. Surely you do not expect any bank on this planet to eat money just because you accepted a fraudulent check? No; they are making you eat your own money.
