You should get your advice from your attorney about how to proceed. Those here do not have enough facts to advise you.

It sounds like a good case. It also sounds like a complicated case. It does cost your attorney money to proceed with your case, and he needs to eat too. Please get advice from your attorney, and if you have lost faith in him/her, you may want to consider getting a second opinion.
