Case been too long lingering, Can I enforce Lawyer to go to trial?

Anonymous: It sounds like there is a communication issue with your present attorney.  Schedule a face-to-face meeting with your lawyer and find out where in the litigation process you are.  Since your case is 9 yerars old, it appears that your case has been in litigation for some time. Either your case is very complex, or there may be logistical issues that has caused the delay in getting your case in front of a jury, or there may be other issues. The best and only way to determine what the issues are, is to discuss your case with your lawyer.  It will be difficult to find a lawyer at this late stage to take over for your current lawyer, as the SOL has run.  If your lawyer is hesitant to try your case, there has to be a reason. He or she should be able to articulate to you why he is hesitant to try your case. Good luck to you.   CHristopher R. Largey
