my lawyer filed a motion to withdraw
for you. At the time I hired my attorney, I had him sign an acknowledgement that he did not have settlement authority on any matters without my express written permission. This meant that my attorney could not agree to anything without my knowing about it and I was reasonable most of the time. When he made a suggestion to opposing counsel without my knowledge or consent regarding my daughter (who's father had not seen her in three years) in a four year period despite not seeing her) I fired him and filed my own motion with the court for his withdrawal and requested a continuance to find new counsel.Remember, YOU are the client and if you act rationally and can separate the emotionalism of going through a divorce, you will get a much better result. Your attorney is not your friend, your therapist or your protector. So, don't become a victim of the legal system. And the plot sickens: the Legal Ethics Helpline has received troubling calls from lawyers with the terrible question: “The court has denied my motion to withdraw; what do I do now?” All we can do is point them to the bar for attorney discipline.
This agreement/ acknowledgement was signed BEFORE I handed over any money. In my case, I have been a paralegal for 15 years. I wanted some control over the issues and wanted to prevent any side deals made with opposing counsel, which happens a lot more than people realize. I'm sure there were times that I drove the attorney a little crazy, but I was paying for it and agreeing to it.
If he did, depending on the circumstances, this could raise an issue of legal malpractice and also form the basis of a complaint to the last sentence of Rule 1.16(c) and advise them to do the best they can under the circumstances, an admittedly trite and unhelpful response. agreeing to it.
