You are not telling us the whole story. If he has approached you out of the blue and is offering his services, he may be violating the State Bar's Rules of Professional Conduct by soliciting, which is unethical.

If you seek out a lawyers advise, because you are not comfortable with your current representation, then there is nothing wrong with that lawyer speaking with you. Not knowing all the facts, I can't speak intelligently further about your case. I wish you well........David
