Not satisfied with lawyer handling eviction

Jim Bryant
Posted

So I evicted some ne'er do wells from one of my houses.  Had to do a fair amount of fixing up and such.  So I'm looking to at the very least get these guys in court to make sure they've got an eviction on their record.  Also, I'd like to bleed them too, although I know that will be in uphill battle.

The trouble is my lawyer I hired has really done nothing.  He printed out the eviction notice and then we posted it.  After that we haven't heard about a court date and he has become harder and harder to get ahold of.  Does anyone have experience with this?  What is the best way to get him back on the job.  I am not afraid to drag him through the mud and take it to the Bar association, but my preferred solution is simply to have him do the job we have paid him to do.

My wife is planning to go talk to him on Monday, I'm currently overseas, so any advice you have before then would be greatly appreciated.
