May 6, 2025 at 2:14 pmHonestly, we don’t like our clients to be present in court unless it is necessary. So won’t complain there. Anyway, if you are unhappy with your lawyer then the lawyer lacks the skill to keep you informed, so just for that I think you should change your counsel.May 6, 2025 at 1:23 pm in reply to: My DRT case is pending for years and our advocate is never present — what can we do? #1382HHappyfox97

May 6, 2025 at 1:23 pmAlso yes, a client has all the right to change the lawyer. But asshole lawyer’s tend to resist it by saying I won’t give you a release unless you pay my fees. If the lawyer goes this way, best thing to do is appear yourself in the DRT and in open court you can say that I want to relinquish my lawyer. There is nothing more embarrassing to a lawyer than that. Complaint in the state bar is not a public humiliation. But a client in open court terminating services is mortifying.May 6, 2025 at 1:19 pm in reply to: My DRT case is pending for years and our advocate is never present — what can we do? #1374HHappyfox97

May 6, 2025 at 1:19 pmLawyer here. Sorry to say this but DRTs are the most laziest and slowest of all the courts and tribunals in our country. So, nothing happening could be more the DRTs fault than the lawyers fault. That being said, it’s not right on the lawyer’s part to miss postings and that is definitely adding to the delay.Also, I have no idea what SA you have filed, so I cannot comment more.
