As I always advise people, if you have already hired a lawyer, you are best off taking advice from that lawyer, not some other lawyer, like me, who doesn’t know ALL the details of your case.

With that said, I do not personally tell my client’s where they should get their medical treatment as I believe it is my job to give legal advice, not medical advice. That’s not to say that I won’t talk with my clients regarding who I have heard is good, but I just do not get involved with steering clients to a particular Dr. as I don’t think that is appropriate.

As to changing lawyers and any fees that might be charged, that is something that would depend on a number of factors: what does the lawyer’s retainer agreement say about fees, has a lawsuit been filed, what work has been done on your case, what expenses have been incurred, etc. I would need to know all these things to be able to tell you what you might be charged if you chose to change lawyers.

I hope this helps.

Jim
