There are a number of competent and professional personal injury attorneys in Buffalo. Occasionally, however, even a good attorney may not be the right fit for a particular client. This can happen when the client and the attorney have a difference of opinion about how the case should be handled, or may simply be due to a personality conflict.
You have an absolute right to change the attorney who is handling your personal injury case at any time. Such a decision, however, should not be undertaken lightly. If you are concerned about how your case is being handled, you should bring this to the attention of your attorney before considering any changes. Usually, your attorney will be able to address your concerns and continue with your case.
If you do feel compelled to change attorneys, you should be aware that the fee charged will not change in a personal injury case. While both attorneys are entitled to some compensation, it is their responsibility to arrange how they will split the percentage of any recovery originally agreed to by you.
If you have any questions about how changing attorneys may impact your case, please feel free to call my office at 716-542-5444.
