I feel better today. I called another local atty. today--he's the total opposite of my current L. He said he wouldn't feel comfortable just taking the case w/o talking to my L, although I did tell him she was discussing filing the Motion to Withdraw. I, do think after 2 years of her representing me that was probably just an idle threat/intimidation, but I've had enough of that in my life. Apparently, both motions are very simple from what he says, so would be a big savings to go with him. I think my former L was padding her fees or whatever...
He called me back late afternoon and said he'd called her 2 or 3 times today and she didn't return his calls, so he'll keep trying or something and keep in touch. (At that point, though, I think the new L has done his part to be on-board with this. If the sitch was reversed and I was switching to her, she'd take my case in a heartbeat if I had a check and not bother paying him a courtesy call!!!
If this guy doesn't take the case (am wondering if she will be honest with him about the fact I'm fully paid up $12,000+ worth & everything else that's gone on). But anyway, if he doesn't take the case, I will just find someone else. I'm done. She's like X in a dress...
