The lawyer never submitted the paperwork for the state taxes after assuring us it would be done within the 3mo period to get the 5% discount. They never notified Social Security, the money from his accounts still are not in the estate account and whenever I call him hes very annoyed saying everything is going fine.

A client can always fire an attorney, regardless of the reason. Generally, but with exceptions, the client is also entitled to receive a copy of the file, including all filings, returns, etc.
