Is It Possible to Fire My Personal Injury Attorney and Choose Another?

Yes, you have the legal right to part ways with your current personal injury attorney if the relationship isn't serving your best interests. This isn't a decision to make on a whim. It can have financial ramifications and requires adherence to both your retainer agreement and Pennsylvania state law. Moreover, making a switch may cause your case to lose momentum, thereby affecting the timeline for its resolution.

Reasons for Consideration

While it's crucial to understand that you can make a change, it's just as vital to know why you might want to. Are you experiencing a breakdown in communication or facing strategic disagreements? Evaluate your reasons carefully, especially in a tight-knit legal community like Philadelphia's, where reputations can have far-reaching consequences for your case.

★★★★★

Wonderful experience with this law firm after getting hit last summer. The whole staff is on top of things and communicates well. A special shout-out to the attorney who handled my case and negotiated my medical bills. I was able to get the care and treatment I needed with minimal stress because they handled it all!

The Process and Legality

Once you've identified the issues and considered the implications, the next step is to consult your retainer agreement. It will specify the terms and conditions for ending the attorney-client relationship. In Pennsylvania, you have the legal right to change lawyers at any point, but you may still be responsible for any costs incurred up to that point. Following termination, you'll have the task of finding a new lawyer, which will involve both time and investment.

The Importance of a Good Attorney-Client Relationship

It's not just about winning or losing your case; it's about peace of mind, trust, and knowing that your legal matters are in capable hands. At van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim, we prioritize strong client relationships. We believe the journey through the legal system should be a collaborative endeavor, not a solo venture.
