I had a medical malpractice suit, and about a month ago, we had a settlement hearing and i accepted a settlement. I have been having problems with my lawyer for some time now, but i just wanted it done and over with. I went in to my lawyers office 3 weeks ago, to sign a settlement release, and was told it should be about a week before i got my check, and they would call. So today, since its been so long, i called them, and was told that the insurance company had rejected the release and i would have to come in to sign a new one. They had known this for 2 weeks, but i was never called, and who knows how much longer i wouldve waited before they did had i not called. So now it will be several more weeks before i can get the check. I am so sick and fed up with my lawyer and his attitude problem (i didnt understand what he was saying, and he says "how much clearer do i need to make it for you?") just being a dick. At this point is it too late to get a new lawyer and redo my case?
