Dropped By Morgan & Morgan After Uber Accident In Sf—previous Firm’s Lien Is Scaring Off New Lawyers. How Do I Move Forward?
I was involved in a car accident in San Francisco on December 9, 2025. I was driving for Uber with a passenger at the time. I have clear injuries confirmed by MRI: a right paracentral annular tear and nerve impingement at L4-L5, plus cervical disc bulges. I was originally represented by Morgan & Morgan, but they recently dropped the case. They have asserted a lien on any future recovery, but they won't answer my calls or give me an itemized breakdown of what that lien actually is (costs vs. fees). I have spoken to a few other firms, but as soon as they hear there is an existing lien from a major firm, they decline the case. It feels like I'm stuck because I can't get clarity from my previous lawyers, and new ones don't want to deal with the "lien headache." My questions for the community: Is there a specific way to force a previous firm to provide a lien breakdown so I can show it to new counsel? Are there specific types of firms in California or the Bay Area that specialize in taking over cases that already have liens? Has anyone dealt with this "lien fear" from new attorneys before? How did you get a firm to take the case?
