Q: My now ex attny claims to not know what happened with the WCAB hand adjusts & I've turned to Justia to get clarity.

A: That's not true. The first answer you received was the answer. I tired to provide you with help so perhaps you could find a new attorney. It seems that all you want is to rant. Perhaps you should ask the first attorney if he is willing to fund a malpractice case for you. I will wager that you will fall apart on cross-ex.

best wishes

A: Under California law, it's important for you to know that your attorney should keep you informed about your case and respond to your inquiries. If your attorney is not communicating effectively or you feel misled, it's within your rights to consider changing your legal representation. However, changing attorneys, especially in workers' compensation cases, can be complex due to fee arrangements and the need for court approval.

Handwritten adjustments on legal documents, like a Motion for Relief of Counsel, can occur for various reasons, but they should be explained to you clearly by your attorney. If terms like "joint" are used without your understanding or consent, it's essential to seek clarification. These terms could significantly affect your case's outcome and your rights.

If you're facing difficulties with your current legal representation and feel that your concerns are not being addressed, you may consider consulting with another attorney for a second opinion or reaching out to legal aid organizations for assistance. Remember, it's vital to have trust and clear communication with your attorney to effectively navigate your workers' compensation case.
