What is the name of your state? CA
My former attorney screwed up my case, and then withdrew. At first she refused to turn over the files, but then relented.
Now that I have filed suit against her, she is insisting that I pay to have the files copied. If she had given me copies as she went along, I would already have had copies and would not have asked her for the files in the first place.
Her agreement says that the client will pay for copies if the attorney wishes to retain copies. She said nothing about copies at the time she turned over the files. The issue came up for the first time when I commenced discovery.
Can she insist I pay for copies now?What is the name of your state?
