“A person has hired their personal injury attorney. And, it’s just like shopping. I like this one, this brand of cereal. I don’t like that brand of cereal, but I won’t know until I try it. If they’re in the middle of a case and they’re not happy with their personal injury attorney, do they have any options? Can they do anything? Can they replace that person?”
Spencer Freeman – Personal Injury Attorney – Pierce County, WA
“No question. They can fire their attorney.”
Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media
“Oh, they can?”
Spencer Freeman – Personal Injury Attorney – Pierce County, WA
“Sure.”

“Even though they haven’t paid them any money?”
Spencer Freeman – Personal Injury Attorney – Pierce County, WA
“That’s correct. Now, that attorney may have a ‘lien’…what they will call a ‘lien’, an interest, in whatever settlement comes later. And certainly for reimbursement of his costs, his or her costs.”

“That was one of the questions that I have been asked many times. ‘Wait a minute, I’m not happy, and I don’t know what to do?’”
Spencer Freeman – Personal Injury Attorney – Pierce County, WA
“Yeah…go talk to another attorney. And you should absolutely be trusting your attorney. Your attorney might have bad information for you, but sometimes that just the way the case goes. You need to trust your attorney that they know what they’re doing, that they’re doing the work, and that they’re not scared of pushing things further.”
