My reply is very different.
I've switched lawyers twice. But between the same two. One is like a grandpa and one is like a stone.
After I did it, I told Perv. Some things going on, I don't care what he knows. He'll learn it anyway. Like that.
Yet, I also understand all of your points saying not to tell the information, too. Why tip a hand when it could harm us? If this was financial or child related, I would agree and not do it.
Lawyers, in my opinion, are somewhat like other "professionals". There are good and bad ones, there are those we click with and don't. If there's no click or sense of protection, there's no need to continue paying them.
One I had was so bad I couldn't stand having to go there again to sign a last paper. And some lawyers won't step in once a divorce case is started-at least where I live. Some are fine with it.
The bad one told me to work with Perv on issues when I could -when he would cooperate-and report to her and she would turn it into legal terms. I let her go because she was not paying enough attention to the case and making mistakes I caught. I was a legal secretary for almost 10 years. Not to brag. Sorry.
But we're not told or given the idea that we can hire and fire them. We are not told or given the idea that they actually work for us. this is important knowledge and something I went through very recently.
I also agree that Nekorb doesn't have to divulge a darn thing.
