BUT.....
He filed the motion to withdraw within 30 days when I asked for more time.
The motion to withdraw date was March of this year and nobody in their right mind was traveling, I was def not going to get on an airplane and go back to that state during early February and into March.
I was caught off guard but I feel like he did this to cover his own mistake of not filing the bankruptcy papers. (The defendant who hit me was in bankruptcy)
This past March, the circuit court judge GRANTED his motion to withdraw even after I called several times and explained and even wrote a letter.
I cannot believe not only did my attorney completely switch his demeanor and stance on my case, but the the Judge approved and granted him his motion to withdraw!!! I was rear ended at a stoplight never had any medical issues, followed all of his instructions to get the additional medical advice he wanted (a second round of MRI’s and visits to a neurosurgeon) and then he backs out after Depos.
As a general matter, attorneys can withdraw from a case and clients can dismiss their attorneys. One option you could explore is to obtain digital copies of your records and see what you could learn or accomplish in contacting other attorneys. Good luck
