I Think My Lawyer Is Robbing Me?

Call the state bar where you live and ask them your quesitons. All attorney's need to be licensed in the state they practice law and they get this license through the state bar.

Your lawyer should be providing you a copy of everything that is going on and what he should be talking to you as to what you want out of this. As far as how much he gets, that should have been determined right up front, not being changed as you go along. If this is not happening, then I would send him a official request and if he donest provide this, I would fire him and report him teh the state law service. It sound like he is working deals for himself and not taking care of you. If you get anew lawyer, the old one is supposed to hand over all informatin about your case to the new lawyer.

Good luck

Don't worry about the paper work. Your lawyer gets 33% of whatever money the court awards, and will fight to win as much money as possible.

Do worry about paying 45% or 50%. That is outrageous. The going rate is 33% and you should not agree to anything above 33%.

Check with your state attorney general's office to see what the maximum is that an attorney can charge. I believe that several years ago in Cincinnati, an attorney lost his license for charging excessive fees-it is considered an ethics violation.
