QUESTION
How to get a copy of the lawyer/client legal agreement?
Asked on May 26th, 2015 on Criminal Law - Alabama
More details to this question:
My lawyer seems to refuse to give up an original copy of the legal agreement I signed because I realized he duped me and he is trying to play me. I also discovered he basically is a con/scam lawyer who plays his clients for money by having them sign and tacking on all types of ridiculous fees.The state is not Alabama (I don’t want 2 list it due 2 sec reasons) but it starts with an M and ends in an n.I am sorry if you expecting something else, but I read a lot of good replies on this site.

I would suggest filing a complaint with the state bar. They will contact him to discuss the complaint, and he will be expected to respond and give a reason as to why he is not providing you with an agreement that you signed. I would assume that there is no ethical rule or law that would prohibit him from giving you this document, and I would also assume that he has an ethical obligation to provide you with this document, but I can't give you a definitive answer on either of those issues, as you are asking Alabama attorneys about a matter that takes place outside of Alabama.
