More details to this question:
I received a judgement from the court ($46000) The Law firm which is representing me is very unreliable and unaffordable. They do nothing and when I call them to ask what is going on they bill me for the telephone call. I would like to get affordable and professional help to collect the money from this judgement.

This is always a problem with one off cases for collection. They are not usually "contingent fee" cases unless the debtor is an easy collection target. If you are on an hourly rate/retainer you should expect to be billed for any work the lawyers perform including speaking to you about the case. If they aren't doing anything because they are unmotivated or slow, then you need to find new lawyers. IF on the other hand they are not doing anything because you are unwilling to pay the expenses an fees or pinching pennies in the effort, well........you can't have it both ways on such a case, and changing lawyers won't change that dynamic.
