Find someone else

She was hired to assist another lawyer in a civil case. Instead of taking the opportunity (for professional growth and a lot of money) and learning about the case, she chose to use her existing knowledge. She apparently knew nothing about this kind of case and chose to remain ignorant. She often gave... the client incorrect information. Her laziness and arrogance were very obvious. She was only waiting for a check. She was incredibly rude - continually taking personal phone calls during meetings with client and other lawyers, screaming at the client, etc. She did as little as possible and even tried to get the client to do her work for her. She disgraced herself personally and professionally. Her commission was substantially reduced due to her actions or lack thereof.
