when you talk to the lawyer can you record the conversation on the phone? send him an e mail the next day as a reminder?

it sounds like in this case YOU have to be the proactive one, not him..as much as it hurts (and i know it does)...if he is not being a responsible attorney for you then you as the consumer must force him to be there for you.

you pester the hell out of him...say NO it is not ok to reschedule..i want it now. you be pissy..or this will drag on longer than it has been.

it will never be a good situation maybe but you deserve to have it over one way or another...this guy isn't going to get you there & it sounds like no other lawyer will help you so for now you must use you pain & loss & turn them into anger & push this guy into doing the job you are paying him to do.

maybe he is related to the neighbors....maybe he is forgetful...who knows...doesn't matter..either way he needs..no must do the work he is being hired to do.

don't let your pain consume you & his lack of effort blind you. put it into a passion to end this thing once & for all...be his worst nightmare by forcing him to be where he says he must be. if you pester him & he doesn't show..take his sorry but to the bar...otherwise you will never see an end to this..
