QUESTION
Is a handshake with the lawyer legally binding
Asked on Feb 20th, 2018 on Personal Injury - Colorado
More details to this question:
I went to our lawyer he looked at my case and greed to take it. Then I asked him to promise me not to drop me and take the case all the way he agreed with a handshake but later he left the firm and I’m wondering if that handshake is legally binding for the firm to continue with my case.

The fee agreement that you have with the firm is what will control the relationship between you and the firm. No doubt they had you sign a fee agreemetn - read it. It will set out the agreement. That being said, if there is something that happens that causes the firm to ethically have to discontinue being your lawyer, then they can do that.
