If your attorney has new information for you, they shoudl be willing to discuss it with you. If there is nothing new since your last communication, they may be slow to retrun phone messages. No new information is not an excuse, but often the explanation for not returing calls nd leters quickly. If you feel that you are not being well represented, then perhaps you should consider new representation. If it gets toward that, call yroua ttorney and teel them you are thinking about replacing them, and that you expect aretrun of any unearned fees, This should prompt your attorney to at least try to explain the seriousness of the charges to you. They are serious.

Good luck
