I know my court date but my lawyer is so slack that he is still waiting to tell me my court date. all he needs to do is call the courthouse like I did to find out, but acts like he's waiting on some letter from the court verifying court date. I dont know whats up but I am very pissed. he has been a great help in the past but its like he has run out of gas all of the sudden right in the middle of my case .what to do?
Answers:
He probably has other cases and he maybe in trial. Call him and talk to his assistant
Dangle a $1000 bill in front of his face.
That should do the trick.
Or get a new lawyer.
Or tell him how you feel. Maybe he is going through some personal problems?
well, if possible i would call his office and advise that you would like copies of all your correspondence etc. as you are going to a new lawyer. chances are, he'll want to know why and will pick up his act at fear of losing a client. it tends to happen this way with so many things - you know, you buy a product and the sales people are so helpful and call you and blah blah and once you have passed over money - the service is all gone! maybe seriously find a new lawyer!
I went through this mess and did a better job myself. The term you want to use with him is "failure to perform" "inadequate legal defense", and "inadequate time to prepare due to malpractice or malfeasance" That will accomplish one of two things. Light a fire under his or her behind or get you fired as a client. You can also go to most court wensites and find out your court date there. All you need is a case number or defendant name etc. Good luck and behave!
if hes done a great job for you what makes you think he wont finish strong give him a break hes working for more than just you . have faith in your lawyer until he really gives you a reason not to trust him.
Send more money... U know how lawyers are.It's always amazed me that they are "officers of the court" and some of them are the ugliest things on two legs.
Maybe you should ask him how to contact the state bar association to complain about the performance of a lawyer. Lawyers really have you over a barrel, cause they are allowed in the game you aren't. Let him know that you contacted the court and found information he should have given you. Be as honest as possible, including letting him know you think he is a slacker, he probably won't like it but what can he do about it. Well, he can throw the case, just as a fighter can throw a boxing match he is your key to winning, so whata ya gonna do?
Feed him "New Improved Lawyer Chow", and have him wash it down with "Jury Juice" (just like Jesus Juice but you don't get groped by Michael Jackson afterward).
