I wish I knew what to tell you bro. Google it or something. Hit up a lawyer who has free consultation and ask him if there's anything he can do about it. Idk. This ones tough

ask him a question

I doubt there's anything you can do. You could look through the contract and see if you can prove he violated any of his clauses, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. He's a lawyer, he probably knows how to cover his ass.

Best way I've found to keep lawyers honest and responsive to me is to take notes about EVERYTHING and to show up in person. Keep in mind that litigation takes time and most plaintiff attorneys on cases like yours are playing a numbers game where they try to maximize the return and minimize their time (which is why so many are woefully underprepared if it actually comes down to trial).

Write down the questions you want to ask, write down the answers (especially information about time frame and deadlines). Ask him about the lie. Don't do it in a confrontational or accusatory manner, just see what he says and think about what you want to do later.

You should be taking notes on every single time you try to get in contact with him, and every time he has gotten in contact with you.

Did he not give you a copy of your contract with him, or did you just lose/throw it away? You can ask him for another copy. Some lawyers who work on contingency will ask for a third, but will also ask you to cover expenses, win or lose. If he's doing that, find out what the expenses have been (should be mostly filing costs) and what they're expected to be, and see if they're reasonable (e.g. $2 per page for photocopies is not reasonable).

File complaint with your state bar association.

You offer no proof he has done anything wrong.

Accident cases can legitimately take years to settle. One-third is the standard charge for an on-spec case. He has no motive whatever to screw you, since he only gets paid if he wins you money.

Just calm down and make an appointment to sit with him and CALMLY ask how the case is going and how soon it will end. You can speed things up if you instruct him to take whatever out-of-court settlement the other guys offer, but that means you will get a LOT less money.

your comments are very vague and insubstantial

all I got from that was
>my lawyer is taking a 30% cut
>I think he is a sack of shit
>I read reviews

This

I got hit by a car 2 years ago, it's just going through the process now. I've discovered that he gets in contact with me when there's something to be said, but if I'm emailing him with some dumb ass questions that his secretary can answer then he takes his time.

30% or so is standard.

Maybe he's actually been a piece of shit, but your experience sounds remarkably similar to mine and my lawyer has been dainty.
