Is my current lawyer really doing his job or should I change lawyers?

Landlord Tenant 6 views 1 answers
I live in a gated parking apartment complex where there is a Disabled parking spot for which I have a legal placard to park there. When I began parking there the landlord told me that the spot was for temporary parking only and I could not park there as per the owners orders. I contacted the owner and he made fun asking if I wanted parking by the pool. I contacted a lawyer and he told us to send him a certified letter to the owner regarding the matter. The owner responded that he would take our assigned parking away and allow us to park on the Disabled parking spot and to send documentation. Lawyer told us to send valid documentation to owner but when we did the letter was returned to sender. Lawyer told us to give it to him in person but he refused to pick it up and asked us to mail it.

It is impossible to say whether an attorney is "doing his job" without reviewing the entire file. What I can tell you is that you should take this up with the attorney. At the end of the day we are in a customer service industry and most attorneys will do what they can to make things right. As a client, you are always better off getting on the same page with your current lawyer as opposed to starting over with a new one. That said, if you speak with your current attorney and still do not feel comfortable, make sure you end the relationship appropriately. Let the lawyer know in writing that you are going in another direction and ask for your file to be returned to you, it is your property. Good luck and I hope communicating with your current counsel helps, it is never ideal to have to start again.
