Crazy question. Whats the best way to fire your own attorney on a PI matter?? lol 😂 As an attorney I’ve only been fired by clients and usually we get ghosted. no formal convo. I’m thinking an email. No need to converse about it imo.

I fire attorneys as needed. I always know who is going to pick up the matter, and let them handle the transfer between each other.

Due to my state law I have to fire them first :/. I did fire them through email. The bill was 400.00 and they had the case for two years 🫠. I should have fired them a long time ago

It also depends on whether you’re already in litigation with the matter. If not, it’s easier. A letter stating that you’re wanting to proceed in a different direction should work.

If in litigation, you may need a formal letter to your lawyer detailing why you want to release them, because the judge may need to be convinced to allow counsel out of the case. It does not necessarily mean that there has to be any atty/client disclosure under seal submitted. But every judge is different!

Thanks! Not in litigation yet. So, I think it should be simple. Thank you

Hey everyone! I am working on a report with the intention of updating the products that a specific customer uses. Currently, the data is arranged with the unique ID in Column A, and associated products in Column B. However, each product has its own row so company 1234 might have 5 rows and company 5678 might have 20. What I need to do is collect the product data for each unique company and put it into a single row, separated by a comma(s). I am at a crossroads, any suggestions?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
