Has your lawyer ever convinced you to take an action against your better judgement? Have you ever been convinced to follow what you thought was sound lawyerly advice only to find out that this “advice” prejudiced you or cost you a significant chunk of change? Well, it may come as a surprise, but your lawyer is professionally and ethically required to follow your instructions. You make the decisions regarding your representation, not your lawyer.
A lawyer’s job is to help you navigate the labyrinth that is our legal system. Of course, a lawyer’s familiarity with the legal process enables that lawyer to make informed decisions regarding your case but the final decision is yours and yours alone. If you've ever been pressured to settle a case when you wanted to go to trial or if you've been convinced to change your position against your better judgement you may be able to recover damages against your former attorney. Remember, your lawyer works for you, not the other way around. At Stanger law, we’re ready to work for you. Call us, we can help.
