You may also get a 2nd opinion from another lawyer before deciding what to do. In getting a 2nd opinion, you would contact a new attorney, who would contact your present attorney and make arrangements to go and review your current attorneys file so that the 2nd opinion attorney could advise you of the status of the matter and if it is, or isn't, on track and being handled properly. With the 2nd opinion in hand, you could decide whether you wished to stay with your original attorney or change attorneys, and do so in an informed way.
