What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I am sued by an alleged defamation case. My attorney is not responding (no communication at all!) despite my repeated requests. She put me in dark about some motions filed by the plaintiff and some rulings/decisions made by the court. I paid all the attorney fee in advance/upfront. Can I complaint to Florida Bar? What are the impacts? I afraid that my attorney may backstab me or withdraw from the case.
However our legal agreement states the following about the situations in which the attorney can withdraw:
“The legal firm reserves the right to withdraw from representing the client in some limited circumstances. These circumstances include but not limited to the following:
Where insufficient legal grounds exist to continue a court or administrative action or appeal
If client fails to cooperate
Conflict of interest is discovered”
Can the attorney withdraw from representing me because I complained to the Florida bar?
