What do i do about crappy lawyer?

Posted by 70sfamily | 7:23:00 PM

I have a medical malpractice suit...it started almost 4 yrs ago, and we finally went for a case evaluation June 1st...in the letter i got, it says to talk to my lawyer about the offer before accepting it. I have until tommorow to turn my answer in, or it is automatically rejected...problem is, i have called my lawyer about 50 times over the past month, and cant get a call back...i have talked to the secretary, his paralegal, everyone i could, saying how important it is i talk to him TODAY, since its due tommorow...previously i was just told he would call back, over and over again...today, since i complained so much, they said he MIGHT be back in the office after 3 pm, so i can come sit down there and wait to see if he does...the office is about 45 minutes away, and i have a 4 yr old i would have to bring, so that option doesnt sound all too appealing, but if i have to, i have to...what should i do? Can i fire him at this point? Who do i complain to? Is this expected behavior? Thanks!
