Hmm. If he had said to submit the results by PM, then we wouldn't have to worry about the whole do-I-or-don't-I identify mine correctly issue, but then we also wouldn't get to see the amusing, even touching (me a Rhodes scholar?!? I wish) guesses of others.

This experience has convinced me of two things: first, lawyers are fucking annoying, and two, very few of us are actually interesting. Cheers!

I didn't tell you my most interesting things because, I'm actually CIA. I'm sending this PM because I trust you, but obviously you can't tell anyone.

so retroactively I have 2 points on round 1 then. I knew the answer to 10, you know.

I tried this argument with the SAT. It didn't work back then either.

If the former attorney signs the Notice of Substitution of Counsel, very easy -- 1 page pleading, three signature lines. If he's disappeared or is pissed off about an unpaid fee bill, YMMV.

That can't be answered objectively. How close are you to trial, will the other side object and will it delay the case are the issues you can run into later on. But if its early on in the case, it's usually as simple as Atticus noted.

Assume for the purposes of the hypothetical that the former attorney is an unwilling contingency fee attorney.

Assume the case is light years from trial and that opposing counsel would be cool with it.

Heh.

Subprime even the FB can understand.
