My Lawyer ignores phone calls/emails
February 2009, I hired a lawyer and paid him $5,000 retainer. I am unemployed. Since then, he has ignored my phone calls and emails, and has not done substantive work on my case. My retainer says that I must pay him another $5,000 in early March 2009, which I don't have. Has he breached his contract with me by refusing to communicate with me?
