一个多星期前,我写了一篇《我给赵静博士提供一条信息》的博文,提到海明律师代理的赵静博士的一起官司。该官司本来赵博士可以与其中一个被告以6万美金和解。后来海明律师接手,到处宣传要索赔750万美元,但最后仅以7万美元全部和解。结果赵博士原来的律师提出要律师费,法庭初步建议:命令她支付前律师5万多律师费。这笔金额加上她支付海明的2万,超过和解额。如果这个建议被采纳,她将得不偿失。
我当时告知赵静博士: 在联邦法院律师退出案子一般来说是要经过法院批准的;没有看到法庭批准他退出的命令;因此,海明仍然是赵静的律师,而律师对委托人是有责任的。拿了钱就跑是不行的。
果然,联邦法院发布命令:海明仍是赵静律师,赵静自己递交的文件不能接受,海明必须代表赵静出庭。如果海明要退出,必须递交申请,在申请被批准之前,他仍是原告律师。
命令全文如下:
