Do I Have to Pay My Lawyer the Advances – Loans He Game Me If I Want to Switch to Another Lawyer?
The answer to the above question is NO. If you switch lawyers to handle and manage your case, you do not have to pay the second lawyer the advances on the future loans you get from your second lawyer representing your case.
Your Old Lawyer Can Only Place a Lien on Any Future Settlement for That Old Loan
Your first lawyer who helped you to start your case can only put a lien on any future settlement for the loan that you received from that first lawyer’s office or litigation financial services company.
Remember, you have a right to work with any attorney or lawyer that you prefer and choose to work with on your case. Lawyers in all disciplines have a varied set of skills, knowledge and responsibilities to their clients. Every lawyer is not the same, and every lawyer does not know the case as well as each one should know it. That means that there is a wide variety of interpretation for how a strategy should be put into place to win a case in each law office.
“Aren’t All Lawyers the Same?”
Well, the answer to this question is yes and a resounding “No!” on that end. Let’s talk about why all lawyers in some sense are the same. Yes, all lawyers and attorneys are trained roughly the same way. They all go to law school, have to graduate law school to get their Juris Doctorate degree, then they have to pass the bar exam in their state. They then can start to practice law either on their own or with a law firm. The quality of their legal education after law school can differ widely.
Let’s look at an apt example that everyone will understand. Much the same way that if you go to the paint store right now and ask for green paint, you will be given a can of green paint. But what type of green paint do you really prefer for the room you are painting? If you are painting a kitchen, you may want a bright but muted green paint (Mint or Pear), not a dark near black shade of green (Juniper or Seaweed). But if you are painting a child’s room, you could prefer a gentle green (tea green) to a deeper aqua hue (Castleton or Hunter). What we are trying to show is that an Army green is different from a Turquoise, but they are both considered to be “green.”
Of course, we are not suggesting that you choose your lawyer the way you would choose a green paint for your redecorating the room project, but think of it this way. Each professional law office you talk to will have a different and exclusive:
- Reputation for winning cases
- Advising the client of new case information
- Communicating regularly with the client
- Openness and compassion towards the client
- Outgoing personality of the lawyers on the legal team
- Professionalism in relation to handling of cases
- Knowledge of working with big insurance companies
- Getting to the point, the finish line and winning big money cases
That being said, wouldn’t you want to work on the winning team for your case, if you could? We agree with you that you deserve the best, and we are ready to answer your questions regarding your case when you give us a call to our law office today.
