You can follow up with your lawyer and ask to review your case file. If they are unresponsive, or if the case file shows that they have not followed up properly on your case, you may want to fire your lawyer and get another lawyer. This will involve getting your file from the original lawyer and transferring it to the new lawyer. If time is running out on your claim, you may want to learn about the law governing your case in the event that you need to proceed on your own as a last resort. Meanwhile, you can consider reporting the attorney to their state bar association if their conduct was especially incompetent or egregious, and you can sue for malpractice if you suffered losses because of it. However, legal malpractice cases are complex and often hard to win.
