Thank you for your answer. We haven't signed anything like retainer with the attorney. In the past more than 3 months he has not updated us for itemized statements of hourse or fees.
What will be the approx cost for me to get another attorney to negociate with him? And how will be the chance to reduce my payment to him? Thank you!

If you signed nothing, it is likely going to be minimal. The biggest problem you face is that the lawyer could file a lien, depending on how aggressive he or she is. If it cost your closing, you could seek damages for that. It would be worth a consult. www.siegelandsiegel.com
