Did your attorney file a motion to withdraw from the case with the court? Or did he just send you a letter that he is withdrawing? The difference depends on whether he filed a lawsuit. If he filed a lawsuit, then he has to get court permission to withdraw. If he has not filed a lawsuit then he could just send a letter. You have a certain amount of time to bring a lawsuit in court, and if you don't you're forever barred from seeking relief. You should reach out to counsel here in the state of Florida for possible substitution of counsel on contingency fee which means you don't pay anything unless you win the case.

Hello Tamara,
Sorry to hear.
Reach out for a second opinion asap. and discuss facts of accident, etc. We do this frequently and sometimes will accept a case because legal opinions can differ between lawyers.
