What can I do regarding a good for nothing Lawyer?

Find another lawyer, that does NOT know this lawyer, and explain everything.  See if you can re-open your daughter's case, since she can no longer play sports because of this accident, and go from there.  Understand that MOST lawyers know each other, and bond together when someone wants to report another!  Unfortunately, this is the way they work, and not much we can do about it.  If you've got everything documented, including collection letters and proof that the medical bills were supposed to be paid out of the settlement then you've got the ammunition you need to do this.  And if you signed anything accepting this settlement, you can state that  you signed it under the direction of your lawyer, and trusted him completely, and he didn't represent you to the best of his ability.  You might also want to report him to the Bar Association.

You might have an ineffective assistance of counsel claim. You should look it up in the law library and if so challenge on appeal or through habeas proceedings. You also need to send a letter to the sate bar and ask them to pursue disciplinary action. Somebody who won't even see you does not need to be praticing law.\n\nJust my two cents

I don't think there are any "good and cheap" lawyers anywhere.  Good luck though.

I don't know the details of your case, but I think you are probably learning why you shouldn't be doing this pro-se.  \n\nIf you have been to attorneys and they have told you that the case has no merit, and you filed it pro se, then you may have subjected yourself to sanctions for a frivelous complaint.\n\nThe defendant in this matter has probably retained an attorney, and its the attorney who filed the answer and then moved for dismissal.  You should review the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for information on how to proceed, if you are going to represent yourself.  However, I strongly suggest that you should retain counsel.\n\nIf you want to retain an attorney, contact your local or state bar association for a referral to an attorney licensed in Virginia.

if its your property, you can be a good citizen and not say anything about it.or you can get your own lawyer and fight it or you could sell it.

If you contact the Law Society and make a complaint through there first, they may be able to help, or at least point you in the direction of someone who can!

Alert the judge to this.  Just send a letter to the judge.  Say nothing else about your case, however.   If you had an agreement for the lawyer to handle your whole case and he is refusing, the judge will either make the lawyer stay on the case, refund the money or appoint counsel or fashion some other remedy.  If you do go in to plead guilty, be sure to tell the judge why you are doing it because if you try to change your plea later you will have a very hard time of it

write them an email that says that you are going to have your lawyer contact them.   if that doesn't work, have your lawyer contact them.\n\nbut really, once you put something on the internet, it's out there, potentially forever.  be carefull what you post
