You can fire your current attorney at any time and hire one who is diligent and responds to your calls, etc. Read your attorney-client retainer agreement to see if your attorney can place a lien on your case from which she can be paid. Demand, in writing/email that she offer $25,000 within 24 hours or you will retain someone else. You may want to hire someone who is better at communication, looking out for you and aggressively trying to settle the matter. You may also want to consider mediation if the other side agrees; it can be very helpful but usually costs approx. $400-600 per hour which the parties split.
