A client file is the property of the client and an attorney is required to provide the file to the client upon request, although the attorney is permitted to keep a copy of the file for his or her own records. If your attorney is avoiding or ignoring your requests for your case file, you should provide your attorney with a written request for your attorney to send your case file by a certain state, or advising your attorney that you will be at their office on a certain date to pick up your file. If you are still unable to obtain your file, contact our legal malpractice attorneys to discuss your legal rights and options.
