Wow sounds like your rollercoaster is having a ton of up, downs, twists and turns. Stay strong during it and keep taking the high road. Remember its you that has to look at you in the mirror. Come here to vent or write it out and burn it.
As far as switching lawyers, I cannot tell you what your attorney's strategy is. However, if you are not satisfied try speaking with another one. Be very very careful about the ones that make promises to you. I used to work for one that made promises to clients and when he did not deliver and they questioned him about it, he would look them directly in the eye and tell them he would never say such a thing. True story made me sick every time he did it. Get some second opinions and if you feel you found one that is a better fit go with them. Another word of caution if they are ulra aggressive determine the motivations, to get you a lot more or THEM.
