Lawyer threatening that he shall not attend the filing hearing of case


14-Feb-2023 (In Motor Accident Law)
On October 2015, I filed MACT case against an army driver who killed my brother in an accident. I hired a lawyer who said he'd take 20% from the compensation I would get as his case fee. Now, it seems I am on the verge of losing the case and the seemingly last hearing is on 17 Feb 2017. But my lawyer is now threatening me saying he will not attend the last hearing unless I pay him Rs 150,000. What should I do now?

It is bad practice to agree on sharing of compensation amount you should have paid him on date to date basis still it can be resolved by mutual satelment. On the merits of your case I will have to go through your case file first then only I can advice you properly. Even if you loose your case you can prefer appeal. I advice you to come to my office for better advice.
