He may or may not be depending on a number of issues. You need to speak with a workers' compensation attorney first who will let you know if you are covered. Depending on that answer, you will need to speak with a personal injury attorney -- who may be one in the same. But either way,... View More

Resolving a lien at the end of a personal injury case is generally something that's more in the control of the medical provider than it is the plaintiff. Your attorney could try to negotiate with the hospital to see if they are willing to accept a reduction in their lien. Also examine how the... View More

Sounds to me like a coincidence but why not contact a member of the Ga

I do not practice in Georgia, but your question remains open for four weeks. If this is a Georgia civil case (it appears to be; it is categorized as Personal Injury/Georgia), you need to check with a Georgia attorney as to the operation of the rules of civil procedure/evidence. But as a general... View More

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I recommend contacting the attorney to inquire why he has withdrawn from your case and whether (1) he will agree to represent you again (2) he will remove his lien, or (3) he will try to help you find new counsel. Again I'm sorry you're having... View More

If you have a licence plead not guilty.
