What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? N.J.
My accident case was settled almost a year ago and my lawyer is still holding a NICE amount of money in escrow. He claims he must hold this money in case the insurance company does not pay all the medical bills. He has been paid out of the settlement so I owe him nothing. He will not take my calls or return my calls or give me an appointment. He is always "out". I finally caught up with him in front of the office and he says he is "working on it". How long can this guy hold my money? I don't have any doctors chasing me for payment so what can I do?
