More details to this question:
We are close to being evicted per the notices we have received. We received an urgent notification last night for seven days to evict. We have let our lawyer know, and still have not heard back. The email was sent last night. We have not been able to leave any phone messages cause they don’t accept them. How do we get help?

Not sure how to respond to this. Do you have an actual contract signed by the lawyer and paid them the full retainer? I ask, as being one of the few tenant lawyers, around and in my experience this complaint is made most often when the tenant hasn't actually retained the lawyer. That said, you need to get with that lawyer ASAP as a 7 day notice to evict is potentially critical to avoiding an eviction on your record. If you cant get ahold of them you will need to retain another lawyer immediately.
