If it was me I would take the time and go sit in his office until he spoke with me and answered my questions or gave me an exact time for an in person appointment.

Hi Everyone, a year later and I'm still struggling with this case. I went into the California site to search up my attorney's name and this is what's showing. We last made contacts 3 weeks ago and now it's back to crickets.

Does this mean he's no longer a license attorney?

I've requested by email for all correspondence between their office and the manufacture several weeks ago and this is when he started to give me the cold shoulder. Without this, no other office will even look at my case. I'm moving out of state in a month and my vehicle is back in service again, 2 times back to back within 24 hours of picking it up for 3 weeks now.

I'll call Cal bar on Monday as suggested.

The attorney could have retired, moved out of state, or died. Whatever the case, he is not currently practicing law in California. Someone else should be handling his cases now.

He is unable to practice law.

The attorney’s law office should have assigned the attorney’s cases to another member of the firm. If not, or even if so, dvl can officially fire his previous attorney, settle up any remaining bill, and can request his case files. He can then take his files to another attorney for review.

What if it was only a sole practioner? no one to assign it to. But yeah... this was not handled properly. But if the attorney died, I can see an excuse.
