Yes, Florida law allows you to change representation at any point in your case.
Do I need to communicate with my current attorney or inform them of the change?
No. We will handle all communication with your former attorney and take care of all
the paperwork to ensure a smooth transition. From the moment we’re hired, you
won’t need to speak to your previous lawyer again. We’ll handle everything so you
can focus on your recovery.
What should I do if my old attorney keeps contacting me?
You can simply ignore them. Once you’ve switched to us, we’ll handle all
communication. Your obligation of communication to them stops when you hire us.
Will there be a repetition of work if I switch?
While we get everything back on track, there may be some slight repetition, but we
will do our best to pick up right where your previous attorney left off. With our
experienced team, we’ll make up for any lost time and ensure no details are missed.
Do I have to pay both attorneys?
Under Florida law, your previous attorney is entitled to be compensated for the work
they’ve done up until the point you switched. This is known as “quantum meruit,”
which means they are paid for the time they worked on your case. We will handle
negotiating that amount as part of your case, aiming to minimize any additional
costs to you.
What if I’m worried about costs?
We understand that switching attorneys can feel like a big decision. Rest assured,
we prioritize your needs and will work to ensure the costs remain fair and reasonable. Our main focus is helping you move forward without extra financial
burden.
Will my old attorney withhold my case file?
We’ll handle that. The previous firm is entitled to a fee to release your case file, but
we’ll cover that cost. You won’t be responsible for paying any fees associated with
transferring your records.
When should I switch? Is it too late if I’m far along in my case?
It’s always better to switch sooner rather than later, but it’s never too late. You can
switch attorneys at any stage of your case. We’ll work with you to ensure that you’re
still in the best position to move forward.
My case is set for trial. Will you take it on?
It depends on a few factors, including how soon the trial is and how much
preparation has already been done. If there is still time and the case isn’t fully trialready, we may be able to take over and either proceed with the trial or work on
getting the trial postponed, allowing for more preparation. We’ll assess your case
thoroughly and guide you through the best course of action.
How do I know I can trust you and that I won’t face the same issues as with my previous attorney?
We pride ourselves on a strong, client-focused culture built on integrity, skill, and
communication. While no firm is perfect, our reviews and testimonials speak for
themselves—thousands of satisfied clients have trusted us, and we’ll work hard to
earn and maintain that trust with you.
Who will pay the prior attorney for their work?
We’ll handle it. Our team will work to negotiate and settle any fees owed to your
previous attorney, so you won’t have to worry about the details.
Do you go to trial? Do you handle litigation?
Yes, we do occasionally take cases to trial and have a strong litigation team. We’re
prepared to fight for your rights in court, ensuring that your case is represented with
the best possible strategy and preparation. Our team is dedicated to your success,
and if that means trial, we’ll do it.
Do you have poor communication with your clients?
We prioritize clear, consistent communication. You’ll never be left in the dark—we’ll
keep you updated every step of the way without you needing to ask. You’ll always
have direct access to our team, and we’re here to answer your questions promptly.
Will I constantly be shuffled between paralegals?
We understand the importance of consistency. When you work with us, you’ll have a dedicated team focused on your case, and we will make it clear who you will be
interacting with throughout the duration of your case.
Are all your cases treated with the same level of attention and priority?
Absolutely. Every case is treated with the attention it deserves, no matter the size or
complexity. Your case is our priority, and we ensure it gets the care and focus it
needs to achieve the best possible outcome.
Do you explain what’s going on for those who are confused about the process?
We believe in full transparency. We take the time to explain every detail of your case,
the strategies we’re using, and how insurance companies assess its value. We’re
here to make sure you understand the process and feel confident moving forward.
Do you provide aggressive advocacy?
Yes, we are committed to fighting for your rights with aggressive advocacy. Our
Attorneys refuse to take the easy route. Rest assured; we’ll go the distance to get
you the best possible outcome.
Will I be pressured to settle if I want to fight for more?
No. We believe in fighting for what’s right for you. We will never pressure you into a
quick settlement. If you feel your case warrants more, we’ll be by your side, working
to ensure you get the compensation you truly deserve.
How long will it take to switch lawyers?
The process is quick and seamless. We’ll handle all the paperwork and
communicate directly with your former attorney, so you can focus on recovering
while we handle the transition.
Frustrated by Poor Communication?
Do you feel like your calls go unanswered?
Are updates nonexistent? Are you the one who is always initiating contact?
Never Spoken to an Attorney?
Why haven’t you had direct contact with the
lawyer handling your case? Are you always leaving messages with no real response?
Shuffled Between Paralegals?
Do you feel like your case is being passed around
with no consistency?
Just Another Case?
Are you tired of feeling like a file on a desk instead of a valued
client? Do you wonder if your case is a priority? Are they even listening to you?
Confused About the Process?
Shouldn’t your attorney take the time to explain
your case, the strategy for maximizing its value, and how insurance companies
assess its worth?
Doubting Your Legal Team?
Shouldn’t you feel confident that your attorneys are
truly fighting for you and not just looking for a payday?
Where’s the Aggressive Advocacy?
Do you feel like your lawyer is truly fighting for
the best possible outcome, or are they taking the easy way out?
Pressured to Settle?
Are you being pushed to take a low offer when you want to
fight for more?
Thinking About a Second Opinion?
If something simply doesn’t feel right, isn’t it
worth exploring your options?
Refusing to File a Lawsuit?
Are they avoiding litigation when it’s the best option to
get you the compensation you deserve?
Firm Won’t Go to Trial?
Are you ready to go the distance, but your attorney won’t?
