What if my attorney wants to settle my car accident case but I want to go to trial, or vice versa? |
 |
Sit down with your attorney to communicate your thoughts and feelings about the case, and then listen. Your attorney is trained to evaluate your type of case. If he or she wants to settle, you need to understand why. Needless to say, trials are time consuming, expensive, and no one can guarantee that you'll win.
Similarly, if he or she recommends a trial, you need to listen to exactly why the attorney thinks a trial is the best strategy. Focus on the facts and reasons. Your emotions are bound to be strong, but they can also mislead you. If you still disagree, there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion, but tell the first attorney you are doing that.
If you decide to hire a second attorney, you may dismiss the first one. But remember without the contingency "payoff," you may have to pay all costs and fees up to that point. Check your fee agreement. |
