Lawyer wont return calls?

I obtained a DV lawyer...free of course...to handle my case back in Oct. We got the rough draft of the papers....not even the final copy from the court yet over a child custody agreement. I have placement and his dad and I have joint custody and his dad has visitation.

Now I need to move 30 min away...and there is nothing in the papers about chaning school districts or moving. I have called my "free" laywer several times for the last 3 weeks. One secretary called and left a message and said...we haven't forgotten about you..just so you know. I called again Monday...and the other unknown secretary said she would find out and get back to me...3 days later still nothing....Time is running out...I will be moving soon.

What do i do? I can't afford an attorney..

    Call the office and tell them that you are planning to file a complaint against them with the State Bar Association in your state. Say that you expect to get your papers, that they have a duty to provide counsel to you, and that you are tired of waiting.

    If they don't get back to you, call the State Bar and tell them your complaints.
