If you have an attorney who is not doing what they were paid to do where do you turn?
He is not guilty of misconduct or malfeasance --- he has however been paid in early January 2011 to perform a legal service and it still has not been done-- all you get is lip service and promises. Do you take this to the state bar or where?

It depends on what he was paid to do. It hasn't been that long, so it depends. Some legal stuff can take quite awhile. Ask them when they expect to have it completed and why it is taking so long. Put it in writing, so they will write back and you will have documentation. Ask to have a meeting with the attorney.
If they don't have a reasonable answer, then contact the state bar. They can often help resolve conflicts between attorneys and clients.
Someone mentioned using spypig. You can simply request confirmation when you use outlook to send an e-mail. It will confirm delivery, and it will confirm receipt, if you tell it to.

The state or local bar is a good place to start. Upfront payment in full is not illegal, but most of the legal profession looks down on the practice. Attorneys are required in most states to act within a reasonable amount of time, but that is usually how the law is worded. What is reasonable and what isn't can be anyone's guess.

Yes, contact the state bar and go from there. Or you could send your concerns in writing to the attorney. Please make sure you use delivery conformation. Then if no response you would have something to back up your complaint. Email would work just the same. There's a service called spy
pig, you can embed the code into your email and then you will get conformation when they open it. Give this attorney a deadline to meet or you expect a full refund . I hope this helps
