What is the name of your state? Florida My wife has a lawyer handling a probate for her due to her father's passing away in Sept. 2000. This probate only involved a $2,000.00 car $2.500.00 in stock and an ongoing asbestos lawsuit which has only netted about $6,000. We were told this asbestos lawsuit would finalize at around $14,000.00 total.We were told by my wifes lawyer that this must go through probate. Everything has been finalized except the asbestos lawsuit which we were told may last another 5 years.The asbestos lawsuit was originated by my wifes father before his death with a lawyer in N.Y. Our Fl. lawyer has had to extend this probate due to this asbestos lawsuit. The real problem we are having is our lawyer in Fl. He has withdrew from our case at least 3 times, and when we call to ask why they say something was not taken care of by us. Each time we have reminded them it was taken care of and they take the case back! This attorney has NEVER told my wife how to do anything regarding this probate, we have had to find out ourselves! His wife works for him and has handled all of our questions with an i don't know answer. We also are not able to get ANY phone calls returned to us from the attorney, no matter how many times we call! Now they have withdrew from the case again citing (irreconcilable differences) we do not understand this and we were told a few months back to send in $500.00 for continuation of the case! They have done nothing since we sent the money except send us a letter saying they are withdrawing from this case! We don't know what to do and are worried because we cannot hire another attorney because we have no money, as i am disabled and my wife has many health problems and cannot work fulltime. We are very afraid my wife will get in trouble if she does not hire another attorney, and we feel the one we have does not care, as they won't even call us back or send us any information on what we are supposed to be doing regarding this case. I must also mention my wife has (1) brother who is an aire to this whole mess and my wife is the Executor of the estate. Can we go through the rest of this without an attorney? considering all that is left is the asbestos lawsuit being handled by a N.Y.lawyer? I am sorry about all the rambling here, i am worried about my wife having legal problems with this! Thank you for any help you can give us!!! Robz
