Q: Attorney is steering me
When when I first spoke with him we agree that there was a breach due to the failure to ensure in the loss from the fire. Now he is trying to convince me that it will cost too much money while at the same time no proper appraisal has been provided. He's stonewalling me, I say I understand the dangers and I'm prepared to go forward, and then he reiterates the same thing he just said to me and I say stop repeating that please. I guess I have to fire him and hire someone else or can I compel him to fulfill the contracts terms?
A:
You're better off retaining new counsel. Have a free telephone consultation with counsel.

A: There are a number of issues to sort out here. But it doesn't appear to be a probate matter, the category under which it's posted. It looks like a contract and civil litigation matter involving a property and casualty loss from fire for which there was no insurance, and a survey was not conducted. This matter could be beyond the brief scope of this forum, and it might be difficult for someone to advise based on these facts alone. One option is to arrange a consult with an attorney to review the file and outline your options. Good luck
