Dan--

You can always hire a different attorney. I don't know how the fee structure has been set up. If the original attorney has been paid to do additional work--such as filing a Motion to Sell the house--then this will create complications. If you are in a 36 month plan and it's about done, then your best option may be to wait. If you are in a 60 month plan, the original attorney will need to be discharged and the new attorney will need to enter his/her appearance.
