Venting- Lawyers dont' know Car Racing or Money!!!!

So my brother's lawyer finally seems to be doing something with his case. For those that have forgotten since its been so long- my brother was on a cruise ship climbing wall and when he reached the top he turned around and told the pully rigging guy that he was coming down...obviously the guy wasn't paying attention and he dropped my brother like 3

Argh. That sucks. Can you fire them? There is always reporting them to the bar association.

The length of time involved doesn't surprise me, but their inattentiveness does. I had a much simpler accident liability case (all in California, other driver 100% at fault, injuries mostly healable) and it was over a year before I received a settlement. It's not surprising (though monumentally shitty, since your brother likely has accident-related expenses now) that a more complex case would drag on for a while.

It's an unfortunate reality that the law is like every other profession-- most of the practitioners suck.

My brother had actually already been through a similar issue with lawyers and the courtroom...he was shot by a kid he knew when he was 14 years old. In any case, we had already been through this type of court case thing, along with evaluation of his "life's worth", accessment of finances, diasability- etc. And thats why I know these lawyers are lagging cause the ones he had 13 years ago did all of this for him- and the ones we have now dont seem to be doing much of anything
