Switching Personal Injury Lawyers

Answer:

Sometimes people come to my office after they’ve hired another attorney and ask if it’s possible to switch attorneys at this point? Typically, the reason that people come to my office and ask that question is because of the mistake they make in hiring the attorney initially. Nine times out of ten, they’ve hired an attorney who’s not specialized in personal injury, and the case lags, and results aren’t being obtained. The answer to that question is that you can switch attorneys halfway through or at any time. The only caveat is that the attorney that you hired may put a lien on a case and they may seek compensation for the work that they’ve done. It always kind of muddies the waters, so it’s best to make sure from the get-go you hire somebody who’s experienced in making claims to insurance companies.
