The details of how far the case had progressed and why the lawyer is seeking to withdraw from representing you matter. If the lawyer had already filed the complaint for you in court then the lawyer needs the court's permission to withdraw from the case. If it has not reached that stage and if withdrawal would not prejudice your ability to find another lawyer to litigate it for you then the lawyer may withdraw for almost any reason except illegal discrimination (e.g. because of your race, color, national origin, religion, or disability under both federal and Kentucky law).

Did you call the firm and ask why they withdrew? If so, what was the reason?

But there was a claim filed before the 12/12/19 deadline for filing? Personal injury lawsuits have a one year statute of limitations for filing.

Have you checked with the courts to see if a suit was filed on your behalf?

What you should do is contact your former attorney and request your case file. You can hire another attorney now and have the file sent directly to him or you can hire another attorney after you receive the file.

Did you pay your first attorney anything or was the attorney hired on a contingency basis?
