hi this is michael haber thank you for askingme what happens in regards to a fee dispute where you have either fired your lawyer oryour lawyer is withdrawn from your case there's two general answers the first is the florida bar answer the florida bar will tell you that any unearned fees or any advanced payments must be returned to the client the bar will also tell you that earned fees or non-refundable fees do not need to be returned the second answer is: and we hear that a lot of the law it depends it's a case-by-case analysisand it's going to depend upon the facts and circumstances of your case.at michael a. haber p.a. we strive to avoid conflicts we have a very frank anddetailed discussion about fees and costs

and about the client and the lawyers'obligations to one another during the course of the representation once we'vereached an agreement on those issues its reduced to writing and in the event of afee dispute whether it's with me or any lawyer the florida bar generally won'tget involved and the written contract is what's going to determine what happenswith the case more often than not again at michael a haber p.a. we strive to avoid these types of issues by discussing them up front my object is to defend you in court butto have you as a client for life i want you to refer your friends and yourfamily and your loved ones and to know that i will take care of you and treatyou fairly and honestly thank you again

for your question and please remember itmichael a haber p.a. it's all about reasonable doubt
