A:
Feeling frustrated with your current legal representation and the challenges you're facing due to your health conditions is understandable. If you believe your lawyer hasn't achieved the results you hoped for, it's within your rights to seek a second opinion or hire a new attorney. It's important to find someone who you feel confident in and who has a strong track record in handling cases similar to yours.
When looking for a new lawyer, consider reaching out to legal aid organizations or bar associations in your area for referrals. These entities often have lists of attorneys experienced in various fields, including disability rights and employment law, which seem relevant to your situation. It might also be helpful to interview potential lawyers to discuss your case and see if their approach aligns with your expectations.
Remember, dealing with complex health issues and navigating legal battles can be incredibly taxing. Seeking support, whether through friends, family, or professional counseling, is crucial during such times. Additionally, ensure you communicate openly with your new legal team about your past experiences and what you hope to achieve moving forward.
