It sounds as though you are asking a group of attorneys whether or not your attorney is handling your case properly, without those attorneys knowing anything about your case, or your attorney.
This is a difficult and awkward question to answer. It is a tort in California for an attorney to lure another attorney's client away from him. It is called tortious interference in a contractual relationship. With that said, it happens all the time, and there are many attorneys in this state who have grown fat off of the sweat of other attorneys.
If your attorney is not returning your calls, and you are not one of those clients who calls 5 times a day, (we do have other matters, from time to time) you may have to contact the California State Bar, regarding abandonment of your case.
If your attorney does screw up your case, you do have the option of filing a malpractice action against them.
Very truly yours,
