Why is your lawyer doing that?
You have every right to ask your attorney why they are doing things in your case. I have had cases in which the other side consistently took positions that were unreasonable and, frankly, that they could not (and did not) win. I had the impression that the client on the other side did not know that their attorney was taking these positions.
For example, recently I had an attorney oppose a routine motion I filed on behalf of my client in a post-divorce modification. It was such a routine motion that I can't recall the last time I had to have a hearing on such a motion. Well, the other attorney would not agree to our requested relief, so we had a hearing. He showed up, made a very brief argument, and lost. Our motion was granted. I left the courtroom asking myself, "I wonder if his client knows that this hearing was a true waste of time and attorney fees?"
You, the client, are the boss. You have every right to ask questions and to understand what is going on with your case.
