Ask.  Just kidding.  No lawyer I know would go to the trouble of working that hard.

Check with friends or try to find out past clients to get an opinion. When you do get a name, go on line and check out his/her past. You can even check for past lawsuits. Lastly, when you do pick one go in for a meeting before your first appointment and make sure your personalities match. Good luck.

A LAWYER is a person qualified to give legal advice; who advises clients in legal matters. \nSome lawyers represent clients in courts of law and in other forms of dispute resolution, they are called ATTORNEYs.\n\nIn common usage the words are interchangeable. Technically, however, an attorney is someone (usually, but not necessarily, a lawyer) empowered to act for another.

Unlike the answers above, there IS a difference between a lawyer and an attorney.\n\nAn attorney is defined as: one who is legally appointed to transact business on another's behalf; specifically : a legal agent qualified to act for suitors and defendants in legal proceedings\n\nA lawyer is defined as: one whose profession is to conduct lawsuits for clients or to advise as to legal rights and obligations in other matters.\n\nAlthough they LOOK similar, they are different.  It comes down to this:  a LAWYER is someone that went to law school and graduated.  An attorney is someone that has passed the bar exam in the jurisdiction that they practice in.

If your lawyer is part of a firm with other partners, first complain, in writing, via Certified letter, to the firm's Senior Partner about this matter...if you do not get a reply within two weeks, the next step is\n Notify the State Bar Association. Provide the Bar Ethics Board with information about the date on which you first paid your alleged lawyer, a timeline of all the delays and dodges and the case number (The number the courts are using for this case) but DO NOT include specifics about the case itself...providing that information can present the risk of confidential information becoming "discoverable" by the opposing party and is probably not relevant to the matter of the lawyer's derilection of duty, which at first glance certainly sounds like malpractice.

There are two separate questions.\n\nFirst, settlements include details of payment, including time-frames.  As such, only your attorney will know, unless you have a copy of the settlement agreement that you can check yourself.\n\nSecond, with regards to when you see money, check your attorney's fee agreement.  The likely scenario is that a check was/is being cut to your attorney.  Your attorney will then hold it in escrow/a trust while calculating the costs and fees that the lawyer / law firm accrued during the course of your case.  Costs and fees are explained in your attorney's fee agreement.  Once complete, your attorney will likely send you 1) an accounting of the settlement amount, costs, and fees (depending on the state law) and 2) a check for residual amount (ie - the amount of money due you after all expenses).  You should receive this promptly within an reasonable time for calculations.
