Re: lack of communication
Options include:
Notifying the State Bar Association ethics committee. Outcomes may include discipline of the attorney. No direct financial benefit to you.
Contact a legal malpractice attorney. Legal malpractice cases are tough-you need to prove that the attorney would have achieved a collectible
judgment or settlement.
A third option is to try to find another attorney to take over the case. This may be a difficult proposition.
Consider notifying the attorney that you will be taking the above measures before following through.
