What is the name of your state? WV
Let me give you the short version. In 2003, I went to a transmission shop to pick up my mother's car. My sister waited in the car while I went inside. After I asked to see the work he did, and asked for a written and signed documentation of work performed, he got angry and he, along with his son, beat me and threw me to the ground. My sister jumped out of the car to try to help, and she too was assaulted. We went right to the police, and later filed a civil suit... one on the behalf of my mom for breach of contract or warranty (they ripped the transmission back out of her car, and in the process, left it undrivable.. and she had to get a rental car, so we are wanting that money back too), another for my sister, who was under 18, and a 3rd for me for my injuries. My sister had bumps, bruises, and scratches, and I ended up going to the hospital. So 2 injuries and one breach of warranty (I think). Anyways, we've had this lawyer handling it for some time and it STILL is NOT resolved. He keeps saying this or that has been filed, or that he has tried to contact the other lawyer and that guy doesn't respond. Is he bull****ting us? Or do matters like this really take (at this point) more than THREE years to resolve? Thanks for all advice.
