    Hi,

    Does anyone know sample letter to solicitor to take a case serious. I have a case and the state has offered to settle but my solicitor is not happy with settlement because i told him i will go for settlement. since then he's not taking the case serious and instead taking it very slow maybe trying to waste the time till hearing date given so he can get big money from state.

    Can someone help with a good letter sample to send to him to take my case very serious and contact the state again, i've been with this solicitor 5 years now and he's been avoiding me for no reason, hardly pick my calls.

    Thanks

    Is this a civil case? You instruct your solicitor and if are happy with a settlement offer you instruct him/her to take it. They may want you to sign something to say that you took the offer against their legal advice (i.e. they though you'd get more).

    Simply ask for the bill and transfer the file to a new solicitor if you're unhappy.

    Yes, i know they thought i would get more if i don't accept the offer, they will get 27k if i did not take the offer, but this is up to me and i want the offer for personal reason as my right, but since the day i told him i want the offer he's been avoiding me and not even ready to meet me to sign any paper, i understand that he's trying to waste the time so as to get the hearing date so he can win the case before the case is withdraw. Thats why i'm advised to put it in writing to threaten him

    For future reference, starting a thread after 11pm and then starting a new thread 2 minutes later marked "Urgent" is not acceptable. This isn't an on-call helpline.

    Is this an injuries board case?

    It was a mistake, not intentional.
