I, (29f) have been practicing for 4.5 years, but only 2 years on the civil side. I do quite a bit of probate lit. I have been working on a highly contentious case with a large amount of money at stake for about 1.5 years. I’ve busted my butt for this client. I make their case a priority. I take the late night calls, the weekend calls, the calls just to vent.
We’re 3 weeks out from a stressful hearing. Today, client said they want my boss to take over, because the court will likely be more receptive to a “strong man.”
Luckily, my boss said it’s both of us or just me, but he won’t take it on without me, considering I’ve handled it from the start. I’m so angry and frustrated. Part of me wants to say I’m done with the client, but it’s not my bosses fault.
What would you do?
