i'm sorry to hear about you trouble with that atty. i wonder if that is why, when i was in the process of getting my disability several years ago, my atty office did not take note of my new address and failed to notify me of my hearing. i always take notes when i call someplace important. i listed the date, time & name of the woman i had given my new address to. i just happened to call the atty to see how things were going, and was told that since they couldn't contact me, i was denied for disability because i was a no-show at the hearing. i won on appeal, but i didn't use an atty that time. i handled it myself. i wrote down everything i wanted the board to know about my new & improved life with fm and i read from it. i told the people there that since fog had taken away my memory, i had to read from a prewritten script, and they sat and listened. i didn't hold anything back, i told it like it was and won.
good luck and God Bless,
