What is the name of your state? New York
I had written a few months ago complaining about my lawyer that does not return my phone calls. My new problem is that I received a letter from him 2 months ago that the court wants me to post a bond since my deceased mother left her co-op to her 5 grandkids and I am the executor. He sent me the bond application and I immediately signed it and returned it to him. In order to sell my mom's co-op I needed to post this bond and need a Testamentary letter. I"ve been calling him again for the past 2 weeks to find out if he ever posted the bond since I havent yet received the Testentary Letter. He still has not returned my phone calls. I have not spokedn to him in 2 months. I am at the point of reporting him to the Bar Association. I called probate court today and they told me the bond has never been posted. I hired this lawyer in August and this seems to be dragging on. I wish to dismiss this lawyer but don't know how to go about doing it. Do I call another lawyer and have him send a letter or I notify him myself? I also need my file and any paperwork he has done so the new lawyer can pick up where he left off. Also I have been paying $700 a month rent on my mom's co-op and since he has been dragging his feet it has been costing me $700 a month in rent. Can I try to get any of this money back?
