Need ethical advise about how to deal with my lawyers working on my case? They seem to ignore my request for contingency this far out?

If you think your current lawyers are too expensive, try to find someone who will handle the matter less expensively, perhaps even on a contingency, and then change attorneys.   Your new attorney can handle getting the substitution process.  You should know, however, that even if your new attorney handles the matter on a contingency, however, you will still be responsible for expenses, such as the cost of a court reporter for a deposition, copying costs, filing fees, etc. When you look for another attorney, make sure you ask a lot of questions, because it seems to me that you did not understand the process when you hired the first lawyers (Why would you file a subpoena against a website?  How would a subpoena stop someone from doing something?  What authority would you have to force someone to stop doing something without a court order?) Your former attorneys may not have been clear enough about the costs of litigation, but you should know that it is very expensive, and that your lawyers can't always control the costs, because they depend, in large part, on what the other side does.  For example, if I write a collection etter to a debtor, and the debtor pays my client, that doesn't cost my client very much.  But if the debtor ignores my letter and I have to sue him/her/it, that will cost my client much more.  If the debtor then fights the lawsuit, and engages in discovery (document requests, depositions, etc.) that will cost my client more.  I can't control what the other side will do, and the more the other side fights, which will cost the other side money, the more it costs to fight back.
