Firing Your Personal-Injury Attorney in Florida: What You Should Know Before You Switch
Last Updated December 4, 2025 In Personal Injury, Tips
If you hire us, YOU GET US. The partners you see on the billboards are the ones who actually handle your case.
If you’re injured in Florida and thinking about firing your personal-injury lawyer, you’re not alone.
People call me all the time saying:
- “My lawyer won’t call me back.”
- “I haven’t heard from anyone in months.”
- “All I talk to are case managers.”
- “My case is going nowhere.”
- “I hired them because of the ads, but I never get the lawyer I thought I hired.”
And then the question comes:
“Can I fire my PI lawyer and hire someone else in Florida?”
Yes.
You absolutely can.
And you should — if you’re not getting the representation you were promised.
Florida Has a Lot of Big Firms — But Here’s the Difference With Us
Let’s be honest about the Florida landscape for a second. There are major, national mega-firms with giant advertising budgets and endless commercials. They sign a high volume of cases, and many clients feel lost in the shuffle. You may never see or talk to the lawyer whose name is on the billboard.
That is NOT how we operate.
At LMD Injury Lawyers, if you hire us, you GET us.
Not a random case manager.
Not an assistant you’ve never met.
Not someone who’s juggling 500 other files.
The actual lawyers and partners you see on the billboards are the same lawyers who will work your case. That includes me, Chris Dyer, and the rest of our partners. If our faces are on the advertisement, our hands are on your file.
Can You Fire Your PI Lawyer in Florida?
Yes, and it’s easier than you think. Florida law gives you the right to fire your personal-injury attorney at any time. You don’t need a reason. You don’t need permission. And you don’t have to confront the old lawyer — we handle everything.
You can switch lawyers because:
- You’re not getting communication
- You never speak to the actual attorney
- Your case is sitting still
- You’re pressured into low offers
- You don’t trust the guidance you’re getting
- Your case feels like “just another file”
You deserve better — and you can get better right now.
What About the Attorney Fee If I Switch?
This part scares people for no reason.
Let’s clear this up:
- You only pay ONE fee — not two. The contingency fee remains the same. Your old lawyer and your new lawyer split it behind the scenes.
- You do NOT pay anything out of pocket to switch.
- Switching attorneys does NOT increase your percentage.
- My fee does NOT include any settlement offer made before you hired me.
If the insurance company offered you $1,500 or $2,000 before you came to us, that money belongs to YOU. My fee only applies to what I recover beyond that.
Switching almost always puts the case back on track. In many situations, switching lawyers is the best decision a client ever made for their case.
Why Floridians Fire Their PI Attorney and Come to LMD
Here’s what most people really want:
- A lawyer who returns calls
- A lawyer who knows the details of their case
- A lawyer who actually works the file
- A lawyer who explains what’s happening
- A lawyer who fights for full value
That’s exactly what we do. At our firm, partners handle cases — not a rotating cast of assistants.
When clients switch to us, they instantly notice:
- Immediate communication
- A clear strategy
- Real attorney involvement
- Real progress
- Higher case value
- Confidence that someone is finally fighting for them
I’ve revived cases that were dead in the water and turned $1,500 and $2,000 offers into $25,000, $50,000, even six-figure settlements because the case was mishandled or ignored before it reached us.
That’s the difference when the lawyer you hire is the lawyer you actually get.
How Switching Lawyers Works in Florida
Step 1: Call us for a free review.
We look at your case, what’s been done, what’s been missed, and what can be fixed.
Step 2: Sign one form.
That’s it — one form hires us.
Step 3: We notify your old attorney.
You don’t have to deal with them at all.
Step 4: Your file transfers to us.
Medical records, imaging, notes, everything.
Step 5: We immediately move your case forward.
Nothing gets lost. Nothing stops. Everything improves.

Yes — I’m a billboard lawyer.
But here’s the difference that matters:
If you hire me, you get me. I don’t hide behind layers of staff. I don’t disappear after the consultation.
And I don’t let insurance companies take advantage of my clients.
I take cases personally — because your injury is personal to you.
