I live in California
In California court I won a $55,000 ($45k actual & $10k punitive) judgement against a gentleman who resides in Arizona. After I was awarded the judgement my California lawyer put in touch with a lawyer in Arizona to file the claim in that state.
I signed a contract with the Az. lawyer and gave her $1200+ up front and a contingency fee of 20%-30% upon collection of the judgement.
I contacted the Az. lawyer every 3 months or so to see how things were going. The responses were usually vague.
It has now been over 3 years and the Az. lawyer does not return my phone calls or emails.
How can I get this lawyer to the job they promised?
