At Lian Hall Injury Law we see a number of clients who have come to us from another law firm.
Signs You May Have the Wrong Lawyer
The stories that we hear include:
- Communication issues:
Some clients may feel that their lawyer is not keeping in touch with them and keeping them up to date. They may also feel that they are not accessible when they need to tell them something. - Lack of progress:
Some clients feel that their case is just not moving forward. - Disagreements on strategy:
Clients may disagree with their lawyer and feel that their lawyer is simply not on the same page. - Personality conflicts:
Clients may simply not get along with their lawyer. - Unrealistic expectations:
Clients may have unrealistic expectations about the outcome of their case or the amount of compensation they will receive, and may be disappointed when those expectations are not met.
Why Clients Change Lawyers
There are a couple of reasons why this might happen:
- Lack of knowledge:
Clients may not fully understand the legal process or the specifics of their case, leading them to have unrealistic expectations about the time that cases take and the possible outcomes. - Past experiences:
Clients may have had positive experiences with previous legal cases and have come to expect a similar, if not a better, outcome on their next case. - Misinformation:
Clients may have been getting information from the internet or from people other than their lawyer. - Emotional involvement:
Clients may become emotionally invested in their case and may have an overly optimistic view of what is actually possible. - Marketing and advertising:
Their previous lawyer or law firms may market their services in a way that leads them to have unrealistic expectations about what they can achieve.
