Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

if you hire a law firm to reprsent you in an injury lawsuit against a pharmacutical company and they settle they lawsuit and you sign the papers agreeing to the amount of the settlement and your lawyer then claims that they can't pay you because you have a lien from a medicare, and refuse to tell you how much money they are keeping of yours,and refuse to tell you how much the lien is. They are not saying we don't know how much we owe you but simply we can't tell you that. They are also say that they took the liberty to hire me a lawyer to negotiate a settlement on my behalf with medicare which I never authorized. They told me that if they couldn't send me a check without taking out medicare's share. I talked to medicare and they said they have no knowledge of this and that I don't owe them anything as far as their records reflect. Yet they still refuse to send a check in the name of both parties involved in this lien that they claim exits, but they also refuse to tell me how much of my money they are holding. What type of action should I take.
