What If No One Will Take My Case?

Do not hesitate to talk to more than one lawyer about taking your case. Maybe the third lawyer you talk to will have had good success with a case just like yours, while the first two had bad experiences with a similar case. What if no attorney will take your case? It means the consensus is either that your case probably cannot be won, or that the likely damages that can be recovered will not justify bringing the case. 

It is our firm belief that you should not try to pursue the case without legal representation. There may be much more at stake for you financially than you realize. If you are convinced that you received negligent legal services but cannot find a lawyer, you should consider filing a complaint with the appropriate state bar association or regulatory agency.   Any of the malpractice lawyers who turned your case down should be able to tell you what agency to contact for your area. While filing a grievance or complaint with a bar disciplinary agency will not ordinarily result in compensation for you, it may in fact help prevent the incident from happening to other people in the future.

Complaints about the conduct of Florida lawyers should be filed with the Florida Bar Association, which under the jurisdiction of the Florida Supreme Court, regulates all lawyers here.
