Request Lawyers Case File
Summary
You have the right to request your case file from your lawyer in Missouri, even if the claim didnt proceed to arbitration. Lawyers typically maintain files for all cases, including settlement demands and responses. If you suspect unethical behavior, such as a lawyer settling without your knowledge, gather evidence and consider filing a complaint with the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission, as the lawyer is registered in Maryland. Visit their website for the complaint form and instructions.Full Conversation

Hi Vickie! Yes, you generally have the right to request your file from your lawyer in Missouri. Here's how you can formally request your file:
*. Write a Formal Request: Draft a written request to your lawyer asking for a copy of your complete file. Be specific about what documents you need.
*. Send Via Certified Mail: Send your request via certified mail to ensure it’s received.
*. Follow Up: If you don't receive a response within a reasonable time, follow up with another written request or a phone call.
Would you like more details on what to include in your written request?

I sent him an email requesting the file and his reply was i copied from the email. "As our email stated, you are free to pursue this claim on your own behalf. There is no case that has been filed as Gap's terms of service require a pre-dispute notice and then if the claim cannot be resolved, then their terms outline their arbitration procedures. There is no case number or case file since there was no arbitration that was filed on your behalf. We could no longer pursue your claim because we did not feel that we would be successful in pursuing your claim under the law of your state.
We wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of this claim."
It sounds like the lawyer is saying that no formal case file exists because the claim didn't proceed to arbitration. However, if the lawyer made settlement demands, there should be some documentation.
You might want to send another formal request specifically asking for any documents related to the settlement demands, responses, and any other communications related to your claim.
