Switching Injury Attorneys

Answer:

I’ve been asked if a client can change his or her attorney midway through the prosecution of the case. The answer is yes, absolutely. The client is the one who owns the case. The client has the absolute right to accept a settlement offer that’s been proposed and has the absolute right to know all of the settlement offers that have been put on the table, and to instruct the attorney whether or not to accept the settlement. Attorneys have to take their marching orders from clients, and it’s important that a client is comfortable with his or her attorney. One of the things that sets us apart is that we make sure that the client is informed on all aspects of the case.
