I have a friend who is being wrongly accused of something he hasn’t done, and is currently incarcerated behind it. The court appointted attorney that he has, does not have his best interest in mind. The attorney met with my friend once in the last 3 or 4 months and when my friend’s family inquire about the case the attorney gives them the run around. My friend and his family can’t afford an attorney, so they have pretty much given up hope of him ever coming home. So if there is anyone who knows anyone willing to help my friend, please let me know. Any info or help would be grately appreciated.

If an attorney is aware that a brain-dead person has been victimized in some way, can that attorney take initiative and represent that person even though not requested to do so? This is purely academic so feel free to be creative with the question and any related variables.
I guess what I’m really asking is how to assert this ability in court if the defenese were to object. Is there a statute or case law to reference?

I graduated from Rutgers Law this year. I was a night student, worked as a litigation paralegal for two years at a 225 attorney firm, have good grades, was on the main journal, published an article in the journal. I was a finance major in undergrad and concentrated on business law classes at law school. All I want is a position as a business attorney at a large or mid sized firm.

Unfortunatley, every where I apply they tell me that they are impressed with my credentials but they primarily recruit their summer associates for entry level jobs. I already sent out 100 cover letters and resumes! Can anyone give me any tips or share their experiences? Does any one know of any firms that are looking to hire?

I took NJ and PA bar exam a few weeks ago. I would be willing to take a job anywhere and would take the bar in that locality. I’ve been applying to firms in Philly, NJ and NY.

I am working on a property that is in foreclosure in WA state. It is 2 months into the process, $11,500 in back payments and taxes and a few thousand in attorney fees for the mortgage holder’s attorneys. Is there a ballpark estimate of how much attorney fees will be once the 135 days is up and it goes to sale, and is there any formula for calculating the rate of their charges?

First of all I live in the state of Arizona. The court ordered settlement was for approx. $94,000 I was to receive about $73,000 my attorney the balance of approx $21,000. I endorsed the back of a joint check made out to us both. He was then to forward me a check for the $73,000. He never paid me a cent. Not knowing any better I filed a lien on his property. However I never recovered anything. I even re-filed the lein when it became dated, still I never recovered anything. The attorney knowing all that he knows about legal issues filed a motion with a local judge to have the lein removed and taken from his credit files . Its been years and I have never been paid. Is it too late? Have I been cheated out of my money by a lawyer who is slicker than owl snot. What can I do to this SOB?

Basically my question is this:
Is it Legal in the state of Texas for an attorney to delay filing my divorce if I have not paid the attorneys fees in full?
Divorce papers have been signed by both parties as of the 7th of October.

I need my file and remaining money in attorney’s client trust account that belong to me.

1. What should I include in my letter to fire attorney?

2. Should I tell him why I am firing him?
If he doesn’t send my file and I hire a new attorney to get the file and money, can ex-attorney be realiable for the cost (fee)
because he did not send file by the dateline?

3. Once attorney is fired, does that mean he can not work on my case from date by law? because I don’t want him to anymore.

I am being dismissed from my company. I think their reason is a combination of being female and being 50 years old. Any suggestions of how to find a really good attorney, are appreciated. An attorney that will give it to me straight. If I don’t have a case that is okay, I am not trying to make something from nothing but I think what is happening to me deserves consultation. Thank you
