my lawyer refused to give me my moneys from an accident

I would like to know what to do if my lawyer refused to give me my moneys from an accident I had and the moneys are in his possession. Refused to answer to me and has refused to give me the monies that have been release for me 4 years ago by the insurance co. And now when the others moneys are release he refused to answer my calls and just now when I called his office his secretary told me than I have to wait until the bookkeeper cut my check and to wait for her to call me sometime next week. Also I would like to tell you that this lawyer has had insulted me as a person, as a client and as a woman. Would you please tell me if I will have to hire a lawyer to get my money or what else I can do? Best Regards
