Missed Evidence Deadline Options

Summary

If your lawyer missed the deadline to submit evidence, you can discuss the issue with them, request the court to accept late evidence, or seek a new lawyer. Filing a complaint with the Illinois State Bar Association is another option. Consider mediation or arbitration, appealing the decision, reviewing your lawyers contract, gathering additional documents, or requesting a continuance.
