Try and get your lawyer to withdraw from working on your claim without a law suit being aimed at him. I know you are P'O'D and I don't blame you. I don't want this idiot to ruin getting help fast with another "good" represetative. See what he says and don't lay into him. Just get him removed from your case. You can always write the state bar afterwards with your complaints. I don't want him to retaliate against you by refusal to withdraw. Just state, you would like to get another opinion and get released from his client base period. These kinds of people can get nasty, they don't have morals old carp, or a conscience on what they are doing to peoples lives. Protect yourself, and be mad later. I so wish you the best possible outcome, and a resolution to your attempts to get SSD. ginnie
