i was taken advantage of by my shady ex lawyer in a case that i was to get 100,000 or more, i was told to take the first settlement deal of 2,000, i did not know i had a choice,option or even see a judge.. so i took the offer.. The only way to re open my workers comp case is to prove i have a mental conditon,wich i do,i have records of adhd,depression,and under medication at the time.i need a lawyer and advise on how to get the money i deserve
iam in southern california, e mail me at pokerstarz25@yahoo.com with info on a lawyer who will help me win big money
i will tell you what kind of lawyer would take a 2k settlement over a percentage of 100k a lawyer who excepts an under the table check(deal ) to get me to sign the min.. it is real and it has happend to me!
Pressed Rat
Sounds like you have settler's remorse. You can talk to a malpractice lawyer if you want to. I seriously doubt anyone will take the case, though--you just changed your mind after you spent the money.
Or you can just whine on Yahoo Answers.

That would be odd for a workmans comp attorney to tell you to settle for $ 2000 instead of fighting for the $ 100,000 because in workman's comp cases the attorney gets a percentage of the award.

Just because you feel you "deserve" it doesn't mean you're going to get it. Until a judge awards you $ 100,000, you are not entitled to it. So if the lawyer told you to take the offer for $ 2,000, there was a reason. You jump right to the conclusion that he was shady, but the more likely explanation is that you had a crappy case. What lawyer would pass up a chance at a cut of $ 100k for a cut of $ 2k?
To answer your questions, find a lawyer in your area that handle workers comp and/or legal malpractice. Find them in the phone book or call the California State Bar and ask for a referral.
