- I'd start by getting in touch with another lawyer. That isn't meant to
- sound cute, but there's no reason that any professional (lawyer, doctor,
- dentist, etc.) should not answer any and all legitatimate questions
- you may have. That's what they are getting paid for. If you aren't
- satisfied, then change lawyers.
