Re: needs

You should contact the presiding judge of the court of appeals and submit to him/her the evidence that you have that the attorney is not acting to protect the best interests of the client. Also have the attorney who will do the work for the same fee contact the court and request that he be appointed to represent the client. The attorney must be licensed to practice law in California.
