You can always retain another lawye if you choose, but because the case has been settled, and the present lawyer is in possession of the funds, the present lawyer will still get paid for her/his representation in your case. It is reasonable to wait until all claims for bills are settled before disbursing the final check to you. You do have a right to know what is going on with the case.
