I filed for a patent with Mr Egan about 8 yrs or so ago. I talked to him about 5 yrs ago about my last action. Now he is unavailable. Can I re apply with a different attourney?

You can always continue to prosecute your application with a different attorney. You should search the U.S. Patent Office (USPTO) web site for your attorney current contact information before deciding to contact a different attorney. However, if it's been five (5) years since your last action, your application may be abandoned even if it was issued. Your new attorney will have to deal with it. Good luck.
