If you fire your lawyer right before?


a case,because you want another lawyer??
Does lawyer 1 still get part of the money?
I was told I cant get another lawyer because I would have to pay both dues? Is this true?
and is there somewhere I can find the answer?

In general, yes. However, in some situations if the lawyer was really bad or did not get a fee agreement in writing you can get out of paying them. I would ask lawyer 2 how to deal with lawyer 1, then act.

the first lawyer still has to get part of the money because he was still working with you on your case. and then if you get another one, than you have to pay him.
it's just like hiring a nanny and then firing her because you didn't like her personality, she still has to get paid because she did her part by watching your kids. and if you want another nanny, you have to pay her because she is still doing her part.
you might can get another, but dues have to paid.
hope this helps!
good luck and best wishes!!!=]

Lovely Ca is correct. The first lawyer did some work and has to be paid for it.

Man that must be one mad lawyer. lol You still have to pay him because he did do some research, but you don't have to stay with him. of course you can change if it's right the same day before the case...well I'm not sure about that never heard that before. good luck on changing lawyers!

If you had hired Phoenix Wright you wouldn't have had to fire you're lawyer...
