You Have the Right to Change Your New York Personal Injury Lawyer at Any Time

Switching lawyers should not come with any additional stress. However, we know how daunting it can seem to fire one attorney and hire another. You likely have many questions, and our legal team is ready to answer them in a free consultation.

First, know you can terminate your relationship with your injury lawyer anytime. You do not have to provide certain notice, provide a reason, or even speak to them again if you choose not to. When you find a new attorney, they can communicate with your previous lawyer, ensuring the switch is handled professionally and respectfully and taking this pressure off you. The transition should be seamless, without any delays in your case.

In most injury cases, you should not have to pay any legal fees when changing lawyers due to contingency fee arrangements. Your new attorney can review your fee agreement to determine if you owe any litigation costs.

The goal is to get you working with a new NY personal injury lawyer you feel comfortable with as soon as possible, with no delays or hiccups in your case. At Finz & Finz, P.C., we know this is possible because we have facilitated these situations before. The important thing is for you to be satisfied with your representation without any undue stress.

Why Do Injury Victims Change Attorneys?

There are several valid reasons why injury victims choose to switch legal representation. If you are in any of the following situations in New York, it is worth scheduling a free consultation with Finz & Finz, P.C. to explore the possibility of changing your injury attorney.

Lack of Communication

One of the most common reasons injury victims change attorneys is a lack of communication and updates on their cases. Effective communication is critical in any client-attorney relationship. If you cannot get in touch with your lawyer or receive prompt updates, it may be a sign that your current attorney is not prioritizing your case. It is necessary to work with an attorney who is responsive and keeps you informed at every step of the legal process.

Lack of Confidence

Another factor that may lead to changing attorneys is a lack of confidence in their representation style. If your current lawyer appears unprepared, disorganized, or makes unnecessary errors on paperwork, it can significantly impact the outcome of your case. A reliable and experienced attorney should exhibit proficiency and attention to detail. Still, many lawyers take on too many cases or simply do not have the necessary organizational skills or support.

Lack of Ability for Your Case

Complex and high-stakes personal injury cases require resources, experience, and the ability to handle challenging legal matters. Many serious injury claims require a network of experts, in-depth knowledge of medical or industrial terminology, and more. If you feel your current attorney lacks the necessary resources or skills to handle your case effectively, it may be time to seek alternative representation. You deserve an attorney with a track record of success and who is well-equipped to address your complicated situation.

Making Critical Errors

In the personal injury world, certain deadlines can mean the difference between recovering millions of dollars or nothing at all, no matter how strong your case is. If your injury lawyer misses a deadline, fails to appear at a court hearing, or does not seem to be following proper legal procedures, it is a huge red flag. If they miss, for example, the statute of limitations for your case, you can lose the right to file a lawsuit altogether. If your attorney’s conduct indicates they might miss important deadlines or botch procedural requirements, it is time to change representation.

It Just Does Not Feel Right

Sometimes, there is not one thing your personal injury attorney did that makes you want to switch. Sometimes, it is a feeling you have, and your intuition is important. The personal connection with your attorney is always an essential aspect of the relationship. Feeling comfortable and supported throughout the legal process is important for the overall success of your case. If you have reservations about the attorney on a personal level or feel they are not addressing your concerns, it may be in your best interest to find a lawyer with whom you have better rapport.

There are many valid reasons why injury victims choose to change attorneys, and it is essential to prioritize your well-being and ensure you have the best possible legal representation. The right New York personal injury attorney is out there, so schedule a free consultation to discuss changing your injury lawyer today.
