I'm sorry you're having so much difficulty. It's definitely important to continue to follow up on your cases because court filing deadlines and other time restrictions could be significant to your outcome. That said, there's nothing to stop you from finding a new lawyer. You don't need to cut ties with one in order to pursue another — you can find a new lawyer and ask that person to pursue getting your file or documents from the previous lawyer. If the lawyers with whom you're working are unresponsive, that might be the best course of action.
It doesn't matter how much money is at stake; the lawyer's job is to represent your legal interests to the best of their ability. If you don't think that's happening and you aren't receiving communications, you should consider finding another lawyer. Best of luck.
