He has absolutely created a potential malpractice lawsuit by not responding to motions and ignoring and not responding to his clients. He has agreed to sever ties with us, but I would like it in writing that should we recover money from our current case in the future he cannot come after us to recoup anything
The issue of severing your attorney/client relationship is easy. Send a letter telling him he is fired and alert the opposing party.
The issue of future proceeds is more difficult and will depend upon the contract that you have entered into with your current attorney.
You may want to consider contacting an attorney to help you with this issue and to complete your current case.
Good Luck,
