If you have hired him as your attorney then you can't call another attorney.\n\nHowever, you can go to the Bar Association in your state and file a complaint with them. I would send an E-mail first informing the attorney that you are going to file a complaint, I would bet that would get him to contact you.\n\n\n\n\nMy current girlfriend is going through a divorce and hired an attorney. Her attorney would not respond to her. So she attempted to hire another attorney to write a letter to her current attorney just to get her to respond. The second Attorney she attempted to hire informed her that he would not represent her against another attorney. \n\nIt may be leagal but finding an attorney to go through with burning bridges on a small case are highly unlikely. The complaint with the Bar association is free and the only person you piss off the attorney who is jacking you around anyway.

I'd say keep trying to get someone higher up than your attorney, to listen to you. that's just wrong. That attorney should be fired and lose their license. So, keep trying b/c someone WILL listen to you.

Make sure you have all your "ducks" in a row so to speak before you go through all of that trouble.  \nThe advice you've already gotten are correct.  The county clerks office should have all of the information you would need on file.  Or try your local Better Business Bureau. If they are listed they will have that information on file.  They will also on some occasions play "mediator".  \n\nTry threatening the manager in person with making a greivance with the Better Business Bureau to keep it on their permanent record.  If they are not listed with this the BBB then try another local group. Chances are they are listed with someone who will hold them accountable in some way.

You should launch a multipronged attack including the Better Business Bureau and the consumer fraud/protection division of your State Attorney General's office.  The Better Business Bureau can be contacted by clicking the following link www.bbb.org.  And the Attorney General's office can be contacted by starting with the website for your state (www.[STATE POSTAL ABBREVIATION].org).  There should be a link for the Attorney General's office.  That page should have a link for the consumer protection division.  For maximum effectiveness, send a courtesy copy ("CC") to the offending company of any letters that you send to the Better Business Bureau or to your State Attorney General's office.  Best of luck to you.
