Joel: If I were you, I would also file a complaint against
your former lawywer with the State Bar. You can find out how
to do this at www.calbar.ca.gov. Every lawyer has the
responsibility to keep in contact with their client, promptly
communicate any significant developments, and perform
competently. Worker's compensation lawyers have their fees
statutorily set, so many of them only do as little as possible
since there is no money in it. Sounds like, unfortunately,
you got one of those. Oh - and make every appearance in your
case, so you don't miss any dates because failure to do so can
mean the end of your case.

P.S: You have up to one year after the misconduct to file a
complaint, so you're still good if you decide to pursue the
matter with the State Bar.
