What should I do if I am not satisfied with my lawyer’s performance?

If you are not satisfied with your lawyer’s performance, the first thing you should do is discuss the issue with your lawyer. Explain to them your dissatisfaction and the reasons for it. Ask them how they would resolve the problem. An experienced lawyer should be willing to address your reasons and provide solutions to resolve the issue. You can also contact the Hawaii State Bar Association, which can provide you with more information on your rights when you are dissatisfied with a lawyer’s performance. Members of the Hawaii State Bar Association are held to a specific code of ethics and can be disciplined for violations. It is also important to remain aware of the services you agreed to receive and those that you are not receiving. If the lawyer is not providing services you agreed to, then they may be considered in breach of contract and can be held liable. If, after discussing the situation with your lawyer and the State Bar, you are still not satisfied, you may want to consider finding a different lawyer. Make sure to research any potential replacement lawyers and their records. You should also ask for references and read reviews about them as well.
