another attorney taking over the case would also result in the attorney requesting a retainer fee against costs/time, and your having to sign an attorney fee agreement to cover any overage on attorney time and costs. If you otherwise like your current lawyer and he or she has overall worked hard for you under the circumstances, don't make the mistake of cutting the lawyer loose, only to get stuck with more fees and a lawyer who ultimately will have to concede that you actually did have to pay more into the plan in the first place. Get that phone conference call set up with the current attorney and keep an open mind. We aren't miracle workers and you are better off with someone who will tell you the landscape on your case truthfully, even if it is unpleasant.
