What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?California
A couple of weeks ago ,my 18yr. old son got charged with a felony for defending himself from a gang and escaping with his life. Besides that injustice,we hire a lawyer who seems friendly at first during the free consultaion. His website says you should have an open dialouge with your attorney or seek another.After we hire him, I send him 3 E-mails mostly informing him about the case.On the 3rd one he tells me he will go broke if he has to answer all my e-mails and says he will not answer anymore. I stopped e-mailing him for a week ,then I e-mailed him and said I do not intend to burden him with e-mails but do need essential information regarding the case. He will not answer.
He has made a bad situation worse. I don't trust him anymore. Is he acting unethically with a web site that encourages openess and then he shuts me out? I will see him at the arraignment. What should I so if he refuses to talk to me in person?Can I get back any money from the retainer fee if I fire him after the arraignment?We paid $2500 in advance and another $2500 is due in 2 weeks.That's covers his services thru the preliminary hearings. And he's gonna go broke from my e-mails. Gee I never knew lawyers made peanuts.
