I have a friend who was involved in a clear liability rear end collision, and the firm this person went with hasn't really done much on the case. It was with an under insured motorist. The third party insurer of course wants to settle fast for the state min limits; however the first party UIM carrier has hired a premier best of the best firm/ attorney.
The attorney my friend went with has a history of dumping contingency cases when they don't settle at mediation or when they can not reach a settlement. I have suggested that my friend write a letter to the judge seeking to discharge current firm at a flat rate of settlement so she can go get a great PI firm to work it through and get her the settlement she deserves. The medical and lost wages are well over 50K at this point. Depositions have not been taken yet and I am thinking if she was to switch now would be time since it has been over a year since the accident.
Can anyone provide any suggestions to a direction she should take?
Thank you,
