Asked on May 25th, 2013 on Wrongful Death - Washington
More details to this question:
I attended a disposition hearing and mediation with my attorney. He refused an offer of 99,000 stating that we would go to trial. The following day I called my atty. & he did a 180 degree turnabout. Stating that he felt that we would lose in court and would I accept 50,000. Then he said that his bookkeeper was there and he need to help the bookkeeper with some matters. He denied that we were offered 99,000 at mediation and said the offer was 9,500. My ex husband received $575,000 in this case.

A client has an unmitigated right to fire the attorney at any time “either for good or fancied cause,…or wantonly and without cause whatever” Kimball v. P.U.D., 64 Wn.2d 253,257 (1964). The attorney may be entitled to cost advanced and possibly fees depending on the attorney's fee agreement and whether the attorney has done a sufficient job.
