OPTION # 2. GET YOUR LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT LAWYER TO FIX HIS PROBLEM WITH YOU DIRECTLY.

"I AM SORRY I CHEATED YOU, I'LL MAKE IT UP "

Try writing him/her a CERTIFIED letter explaining your situation, and why you feel he screwed up and how you want him to solve the problem. Try setting a specific time frame for a solution to take place. Ie “please respond to the above request within 5-7 days from your receipt ...”  At this point do not threaten him or her, with any retaliatory action but be firm in your stance. Use words like “ I’d like to resolve this matter on an amicable basis..” Also request that any response to your letter be in writing. If all you get is a phone call by either him/her or by someone within his office, send him/her a confirming letter/email memorializing the phone call and what the agreement and your understanding of the conversation or gist of the discussion was.

 

Also Try using the suggestions given in the FREE pamphlet sponsored  by the California State Bar called “WHAT CAN I DO IF I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY LAWYER” you can download this pamphlet at: http://calbar.ca.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=SwBeh1m5Lp0%3d&tabid=1397

 

If your letter is ignored or if his/her solutions do not met with your expectation of the problem, again address that in a subsequent “follow-up letter” Make it simple. Use phrases like “Although I’ve tried to reach a solution to the problem created by you  (see my first letter dated) ( put date of previous letter), your solution fails to rectify the problem by/ because (insert reasons, etc) Therefore you leave me no choice but to bring this matter before the California State Bar (or other agency depending on the type of problem)and seek their intervention...” etc. Always remember not to threaten or include insults in your written communications with him/her. Always be polite but firm. 

 

Remember that your letters will or could be used as exhibits at some point by someone else and you don’t want a Bar investigator, or a Bar prosecutor or ultimately a Bar judge to read your letter wherein you insult your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer no matter how badly you want to do it. Doing that may discredit your position and cast you as a problematic and abusive client. Remember, your satisfaction will come when the Bar investigates the problem and decides to discipline, suspend and possibly recommend disbarment for your LOUSY, LAZY & ARROGANT lawyer

That’s what you want !!
