Not Getting Results From Your First Lawyer?
At the Worcester office of The Massachusetts Family Law Group, our divorce lawyers serve as second attorneys for clients who fired their first lawyers. We also provide second opinions to people seeking confirmation that they are on the right track with their current attorneys. In both instances, when your spouse and his or her attorney learns that you are working with our law firm, they will know immediately that you are serious.
We remind people that their lawyers are not psychologists; if you are considering firing your attorney solely because he or she doesn't appear sympathetic enough, you might wish to consider therapy to get the support you need.
Why Fire Your First Lawyer?
If you believe you are not working with the right lawyer during your divorce proceedings, ask yourself these questions:
- Does your lawyer return your telephone calls promptly?
- Do you feel you cannot talk honestly with your attorney?
- Is your legal bill growing without much visible progress?
- Does your lawyer not listen to you and act contrary to your stated wishes?
- Does your attorney appear unprepared in court?
Don't fire your attorney until you have found a replacement. The second lawyer will want to know you are no longer working with your original attorney, so you will need to hire and fire in quick succession.
What Your Second Attorney Needs to Know
When you change lawyers during a divorce, you will need to provide your new attorney with information that will help him or her master your case quickly. The new lawyer will need to know:
- The name of the judge
- What discovery remains to be done
- Upcoming deadlines
- Offers that have been made by the other side
- Why you haven't settled
- Your goals
- Where transcripts of depositions are located
- Any uncommon issues in the case
