Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
We had to obtain a lawyer over 9 months ago when my husband was arrested on a consiracy charge.� After the first week after retaining him we comleted paying him the entire $31,000 owed for his services.� Since then we have struggled to get any answers or communication from him.� He will not return my calls, cancels every meeting I schedule with his secretary only to cancel and reschedule again and again.� My question is he has done very little if anything for us thus far, at what point is it too late to ask for at least a portion of our money back so that we can retain a new lawyer?

Based on what you have written and dependent upon the specific terms of your agreement with the attorney, you may be able to request a refund of the fees paid and your client file. Prior to retaining a new law firm/attorney, you will need to make sure that the current attorney has been released from representation.
