Do i have rights to my files from my lawyer who represented in a family case matter.?

am i privy to my case files from my lawyer who represented me in a family court custody matter.

As long as you're not a minor, yes.

Technique for getting paperwork from lawyers: First, just talk with the office administrator. (You'll be three days trying to get the lawyer to call you back.) Be polite and friendly, but don't ask - tell. Say, "I'm so sorry to burden you, but I'm going to need these copies of paperwork from ..." Give all the specifics of your case you remember. Say, "I understand there's a fee for this, that's no problem." And then, "When should I come by and pick those up?"

Most likely they'll tell you they'll have to call you back, and then they won't. Call the next day. "I'm hoping you've had the chance to find that file I asked about yesterday. When can I come by and pick up those copies?"

If they fork over the copies in a couple of days, thank them profusely, and recommend them to all your friends. :) I'd even consider 'tipping' the office manger. A gift card for the nearest lunch cafe, maybe.

After about a week, you may have to just go there, tell them you'll wait. Offer to run them through the copier yourself. Be just as polite and friendly as ever, just don't go away. That'll usually do it. :)

Yes you have the right to get copies of your file, he will keep the originals and probably charge you per page. BUT, getting atty's to do this is like pulling teeth.
