  • Legal battles can be emotionally and financially
    draining hence the last thing you want is a
    lawyer who mishandles you and your case. However,
    if this happens, certain things can make you can
    look out for a new lawyer

3
Poor communication
  • If an attorney doesnt return your calls and
    email inquiries, it would be time to find a new
    attorney. Regardless of the nature of your case,
    any queries you make should be answered with
    promptness or acknowledged. Its your case, so
    you deserve to be put in the know on any
    developments and your questions answered.

  • The lawyer should also be in a position to brief
    you on what you expect in a courtroom before a
    hearing and also provide some interpretation
    after a hearing. If the attorney makes you feel
    out of the loop, during this crucial times, it
    would be time to find a new lawyer.

5
Disorderliness
  • Does the lawyer show up in the courtroom late,
    not prepared or without documents for your case?
    Does his/her office appear messy with papers
    everywhere? How your lawyer presents
    himself/herself can be a sign of how well they
    handle your case.

6
  • For example, if his/her office appears
    disorganized, it means the information you give
    him about your case will most likely be treated
    in the same manner, lacking confidentiality. Such
    a lawyer will also probably have a hard
    remembering your name and essential details when
    you meet the next time.

7
Questionable competence
  • At the very beginning, its crucial for you to
    do some background check on the lawyer you intend
    to hire. Additionally, youre expected to be
    proactive in your case. If your lawyer is not the
    right one for your case, you might begin to see
    them withholding pertinent information regarding
    your case. It would be time to find a new lawyer
    if the current lawyer has faced disciplinary
    actions for unethical practices in previous
    cases.
