Q: Please help me is there anyone that cares ?
I'm banging my head on the wall. My original lawyer that handled my case threw rating and settlement could no longer handle my case. I signed with a new lawyer a few years back never really needed him till lately when wc insurer is stirring over my medical treatment I got lifetime and they want my treatment stopped I've been having .i am having all kind of trouble with my new lawyer total lack of any communication. I've yet to talk to him to discuss anything going on .he's yet to get my doctors reports from what his office staff just told me. Yet I have a hearing this week which they are now saying isn't happening would of been nice if they told me.it not happening because they made a agreement that everything the insurer is asking will be done.so yippee no hearing they were real happy about that.but like I said no discussion with me or even worse off my treating doctor cause they even said we don't have his report yet and still haven't spoken to him. Please help.

Clients have the absolute right to retain counsel of their choosing.
Sometimes a good lawyer will not be able to respond to contact right away but if repeated attempts to contact or discuss a case are not met with success a client might seek new counsel they are more comfortable with. (Keep in mind that a dismissed attorney may have some rights to compensation for work they have done).
