Attorney Communication Concerns
Summary
In California, attorneys are required to inform clients about significant case developments, including negotiation procedures. If an attorney withholds such information, it may be considered misconduct. Clients should discuss concerns with their attorney, seek a second opinion, or file a complaint with the State Bar of California. Consulting another attorney may incur costs, but some offer free initial consultations. Consider evaluating the settlement offer against realistic outcomes before finalizing the case.Full Conversation
