Question:

firing my attorney on contingency basis?

my attorney has took my personal injury case on contingency fees of 1/3 of my settlement. he has not filed a lawsuit against the insurance company. sent demand letter last week to them. case should be settled out of court. we cant see eye to eye on some issues though. i plan on fire him soon. i know i will have to pay his fees and expenses for my case. my questions is, will he or can he send letter to insurance company and ask for his money first before i get my settlement? can he contact insurance company asking them to pay his 1/3 cut before i get paid? like i said, no suit has been filed. plan on firing attorney before case gets settled and deal with insurance company on my own. just wanted to know what the attorney could do legally?

Answer:

Yes there is - you can have a similar system for fire alarms but usually they go through a central recording station first. Ask the people who fitted your intruder alarm, they often do fire alarms too or know the people who do.
Write to your congress person and your states senators. Ask them to sponsor a bill exempting domestic craft products from testing provided that the components are lead free. Then contact everyone you know and know of involved in making and selling domestic craft products and ask them to do the same thing. If enough people write enough members of congress corrective action will be taken. Hope this helps Jerry-the-bookkeeper
