Typically, a lawyer must get the judge’s permission before he or she can withdraw from a case. He or she cannot simply refuse to pass along information or act on the client’s behalf simply because the judge has not yet granted the motion. The court can refuse to honor the request to withdraw.
Is it normal to not hear from your divorce lawyer?
The average divorce attorney will call you back but most of the time you have to wait an unreasonable time to hear from them. This can vary from one attorney to another.
Why did my lawyer drop my case, what now?
I sought legal advice, and my friend owns the car that I drive. The attorney made me seek medical advice, and have an MRI. I was scheduled to make a statement to my insurance company, but the lawyer cancelled it. He wanted more information. It is now six weeks later, I still am in a rental car, and the lawyer dropped the case. What do I do now?
Can a divorce attorney talk about your case?
That means your attorney cannot talk about your case in public or to third parties without your consent. There are exceptions to this, but I’ll save that for another article. Going through a divorce is a stressful time.
Do you pay attorney’s fees in a contested divorce?
In a contested divorce, you are likely to accumulate thousands of dollars in attorney’s fees because your lawyer must spend an enormous amount of time preparing the case and filing paperwork. You may be angry but remember the more you and your spouse argue over issues or items, the more you pay in attorney’s fees.
