<prompt> Human: At first he said he would give me my money back. Now he is mad because I hired a new lawyer and he apparently has personal problems with him. He is also mad because after I sent him a notarized letter firing him and requesting my money back, I ignored all of his calls and emails. So hes basically saying since I didnt respond back to him that he now wont be giving my money back to me. This guy is a piece of crap and I really just want to sue him, but can anyone out there give me some advice on what to do before I make that move? Thanks!A few more details.. Ive paid him over 10,000. At first, he asked for 3,000. But he kept charging me more to file motions and I really feel that he has taken conplete advantage of me given that my crime was only a misdemeanor. Also, I have only asked him for 1,500 back out of the 10,000 he has sucked out of me. I need help. I have a physical letter from him stating he would refund this money with his signature on it.  <response>: Have you discussed this with your state bar association?You might advise him that this will your next course of action.
