Re: Lawyer lying to me.
It is not unusual for a settlement check to take a couple of weeks to arrive. I am not sure what you mean by "suppose to be settling." Either it has or it hasn't. If you think there may be a problem and a good deal of time has passed, you can file a complaint with the local bar association or with the Ohio Sup. Ct. Those are extreme situations. In the alternative, you may want to contact another local attorney who can contact her;the opposing attorney (if a lawsuit was filed); or the ins. carrier.
