It has been three months that a lawyer has been handling my uncles estate & nothing has been done, can I fire him?

Asked by a user in Philadelphia, PA - almost 3 years ago.

A client can always fire an attorney, regardless of the reason. Generally, but with exceptions, the client is also entitled to receive a copy of the file, including all filings, returns, etc.

Ssdi mental disability claim

Asked by a user in Las Vegas, NV - almost 4 years ago.

Your question indicates that you have applied for Social Security disability benefits. While I understand that you do not want to pay a lawyer up to $5,300.00 to represent you, you should re-consider. The SS system is complicated and an experienced SS lawyer will understand the regulations and how to best present your claim. I understand your frustration, but it is best to focus on the result rather than a system that you cannot change.
