If you are unhappy with your lawyer can you submit a request to court that you change your lawyer and does the money you paid to your first lawyer get transferred to the new one?
I am not totally sure about the change of lawyers but I do know that the money you paid your first lawyer was paid to your first lawyer and will not be transferred over.
How would one determine if pre-paid legal services are a scam?

What type of lawyer do you speak with when you find a foreign object in your Pepsi bottle?
This would be a product liability case. You would want a civil lawyer, one that specializes in civil cases rather than criminal cases. And one the specializes in consumer cases would be good. Most lawyers would take such a case on a contingency basis, which means they don't get paid until they win the case.
Do a lawyer get a lot of money for one case?

What do you mean by No Win No Fee solicitors?
A 'No Win. No Fee' solicitor will take on your legal case without charge to you, expecting to be paid from an award of expenses should you win. Expenses are generally awarded in addition to an reparations ordered by a court, so this arrangement doesn't affect the amount you might receive. Should you lose the solicitor will not be paid. Because the solicitor's fee is paid by the opposing party it is unlikely that a 'No Win No Fee' solicitor will take on a case unless they he is fairly sure he will win. It is also possible that if the expenses warded fall short of the sum to which the solicitor feels he is entitled he might ask you for payment from your award.

Should you be honest with your lawyer?
Yeah; One should be honest at least with his/her lawyer so that the lawyer can understand your case and can help you in the right direction. I had a Personal Injury case and I have told everything in detail regarding the case to the Milwaukee Injury Lawyer (@ http://www.personalinjurylawmilwaukee.com/) and he had helped me settled my case. So it's better to be honest eith your lawyer. Thanks, Dan.
If a lawyer drops your case saying the other party didn't have insurance but a second lawyer finds they did can you sue the first lawyer?
No. An attorney can decide not to represent somone, for whatever reason they choose. If a case is accepted on contingency and the attorney does not see it as winnable/collectable, they will drop the case. The contractual agreement will state something to that affect. If a retainer was paid, a portion may be refundable. That again, depends on the contractual agreement. Although a lawyer can drop a case, they have a duty not to 'mess up' your case. If they 2nd lawyer picked up where the 1st one left off and you finally got to the end of the case and got your result, then Claudia is right, you have no recourse. But if by any chance, the 1st lawyer dropped your case and this somehow resulted in a loss to your case and you got less $ in the case, then yes you can sue him for the damage to your case and recover what you should have been able to recover in the original case had it not been for the 1st lawyer's actions. Stated otherwise, if the second lawyer does find insurance and effects a recovery for you of the full value of your claim, you have not sustained compensable damages due to the first lawyer choosing not to represent you. Therefore, you do not have recourse for anything against the first lawyer.
