If this lawyer is indeed not doing her job, and you believe this to be a true violation of your client-attorney relationship, then you should report your lawyer to your state's American Bar Association.\n\nThere is a two-inch-thick manual of ABA approved rules of professional conduct for lawyers and if your lawyer is violating rules of diligence and competence, then you are more than entitled to get your retainer back. \n\nTechnically, a lawyer cannot spend any of the retainer money until his or her assigned tasks (for which the money was paid) have been completed. Therefore, unless your lawyer has carried out the tasks you agreed on, that money should still be there. \n\nConsider the following questions before you contact the ABA:\n(1) How long has it been since your lawyer contacted you about your case?\n(2) How complicated was the task assigned?\n(3) Does the attorney work for a firm where you could try contacting the firm first?

I would start by calling the Pennsylvania State Bar Association at (717) 238-6715.  They probably have his current office address and phone number.

You going to have to talk to a lawyer on this one. Bring with you a list of all the damage the other lawyer did to you (i.e. stole your money, ruined your reputation, mismanaged funds, poorly prepared your case, etc.). With this list the new lawyer should be able to tell you what your options are. Good luck.

Not knowing where you're from, I can't make a specific recommendation.  I would go to Yahoo!'s home page and type in "lawyer referral service" and "<the name of the city or state that you live in>".

Call the Bar Association in Texas and the ethics committee or equivalent.  If you're looking to weed out a "bad" attorney, good luck.  They usually don't break ranks to tell about each other's pasts if they include problems.

Since you don't identify the state, it's hard to be very helpful. Some states have an agency under the state supreme court that oversees attorneys. Some have a state bar association committee that does that work, but bar associations are notoriously favorable to the lawyers.\n\nYou should be able to find out by calling the local bar association and asking where you file a complaint about a lawyer. If there is a consumer protection office in your state, call them.\n\nIn general, a lawyer is not entitled to a fee or a retainer payment until he works on the case. This can include the initial office visit and telephone calls. Some lawyers try to get around that by having a client sign an agreement that the initial retainer is not refundable. These are usually not legal.\n\nIf you have not done so, send the lawyer a letter, certified mail return receipt, and ask for your money back. Send a copy by regular mail, and be sure to keep a copy for your records.
