Ok, I'm starting to get discouraged again with my lawyer. I've seen and heard various comments about getting a good lawyer but you never really know until you've already spent time and money investing in one before you find out if they're good or not. You're lawyer might also be good at what they do but to overwhelmed with work to be effective or make you feel like their working for you at their highest potential.
So I was wondering as the best referal are usually through past experiences and word of mouth - can anyone else give names/location of some good lawyers that deal with custody. (obviously Jeff I know you're one of them but it's nice to have some variety to choose from)
Now with the above said. If my bill has been all paid up - is my lawyer entitled to hand over every piece of document that he has regarding my case - If I choose to switch lawyers. I know there's letters or phone call conversations that I haven't even seen and just the final outcome of them. Also, considering the application, answer, and hopefully my reply have been served what costs/delays am I looking at for switching lawyers.
(My reason for again thinking of switching is because I had to call my lawyer the day of the reply to ask where the letter he was suppose to send me 3 days ago was - it wasn't ready and his secratary told me we would ask for an extenstion and he'd send it to me later that day - which I still don't have and I don't know if they agreed to the extension either - I haven't been able to get ahold of my lawyer and he hasn't called me back in the last 4 days as he's been in court).
So please, if you know some good lawyers let me know. Also what's involved in the dreaded 'switching of council' especially this late in the game.
